Hi all, I made quick feasibility study on using PCB traces as components at low frequencies, .pdf attached. Idea is to split the text into four parts and publish them in our blog with some spacing. Personally I think the most interesting part is calculator for multi-layer inductors, I'd like to design a few PCBs to see how reality matches with equations once I'm ready with more pressing tasks. It's not linked in text because calculator is not ready for publishing. Python script is available at https://github.com/ojousima/pcb-spiral-inductance-calculator, I'll add some sort of user manual / UI if someone is interested enough to ask for one. I might convert calculator to JavaScript for online publishing if it gives reasonable results. I'm going to improve pictures and add a few new ones before publishing, please give me a few suggestions for improvement before I fine tune the text. I'd also appreciate if someone checked my calculations. -Otso
