Hi I can provide you with some tips for inductor design at this frequency ..may be they will help1.single loop inductors can provide large L and Q..The design formula are given in "microwave solid state circuit design" by "Bahl and Bhartia".2.the resonant frequency of the inductor is given by Fres = 1/( 2* pi * sqrt(L * C/2 )) So you have to have a low capacitance to increase your resonant frequency.3.To estimate the inductors unloaded Q ,series resistance must be added to the equivalent model...(ref again Bahl and Bhartia)4.Spiral inductors provide the largest inductance but then there is the interwinding capacitance .You can use the the spiral inductors with entire air bridges in it (less interwinding capacitance) I.D.Robertson discusses these models.5.For a given outer diameter Q(circular spiral ) >Q (square spiral),so use spiral inductors6.Multiturn inductors have higher Q but lower Fres due to interwinding capacitance , so use lesser number of turns. Hope this is of some help to you.ThanksAtif --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.
