> Flat copper conductors present a lower inductance path than round ones!
Can you give me a reference for that? I've been looking for years,
and find no data on conductor shape vs inductance.
It's in the "Grounds" book. Poly also sells a slide rule which will show you the
voltage drop difference and resistance between the various lengths and
types of conductors both round and flat. The formula is in the book and there's
a slide used in the presentation which graphically shows this information. Try
calling the technical assistance types at Poly and see if someone can make a
photocopy of it. See if you can either talk to or leave a voice mail for Ken
Rand.
He's the guy who does the presentation and will know immediately what you're
seeking. His e-mail address is or should be <krand@polyphaser.com>. He's on
the road a lot so it may take some perserverence on your part to get through.
I'm sure that any good technical textbook will have info on the subject. It
might
also be in an older ARRL Amateur Radio Handbook (before it got dumbed down).
