This calculator computes the inductance of a microstrip etched on a PCB.
This tool is designed to help you determine the inductance of a microstrip line etched on a printed circuit board (PCB). Ideal for engineers, designers, and hobbyists working on RF circuits and high-frequency applications.
Inputs:
To compute the inductance, please provide the following parameters:
- Strip Width: Enter the width of the microstrip line in inches (in). This is the physical width of the copper trace on the PCB.
- Strip Length: Input the length of the microstrip line in inches (in). This measures the extent of the microstrip across the PCB.
- Distance: Provide the distance between the microstrip and the ground plane in inches (in). This is the thickness of the dielectric material separating the microstrip from the ground.
Output:
- Inductance: The calculator will compute and display the inductance of your microstrip line in microhenries (µH). This value represents the ability of the microstrip to store energy in a magnetic field.
How It Works:
- Enter Data: Fill in the required parameters: Strip Width, Strip Length, and Distance.
- Calculate: Click the “Calculate” button to obtain the inductance value.
- View Results: The calculator will show the computed inductance based on the provided inputs.
Why Use This Calculator?
- Accurate Computation: Get precise inductance values using established formulas.
- Design Optimization: Ensure your PCB designs are optimized for high-frequency performance.
- Convenience: Quickly perform inductance calculations without manual effort.
Example Calculation:
For a microstrip with a Strip Width of 0.2 inches, Strip Length of 2.0 inches, and a Distance of 0.1 inches, enter these values into the calculator to find the inductance.
