Craig,
I don't believe there is a straightforward analytical formula for
non-round conductors. When you start getting into internal inductance
for trace geometries in the presence of a plane, then it will definitely
depend on the shape and proximity to the other conductors. However,
this problem is easily solved by several different field solvers.
Commercially, Ansoft Maxwell 2D does a very good job of extracting
inductance at multiple frequency points. You just have to be sure to
use the impedance matrix.
Academic codes such as FastHenry from MIT and Simian from Dean Neikirk
at the University of Texas can correctly solve for frequency dependent
inductance and resistance of arbitrary shapes. Links to these can be
found at http://www.fastfieldsolvers.com/links.htm
Or, if you are dealing with stripline traces, you can use a boundary
element method or method of moments field solver to run two problems.
Problem 1) your rectangular trace at the normal thickness centered
between the planes.
Problem 2) a very very thin trace centered between the planes.
regards,
scott
