I would like to lay out inductors (VHF range) on a PCB.
Does anyone have a reference that gives practical advise on laying out inductors using traces on PCB's?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The PCB layout package I use is directly linked to the ExpressPCB fabrication house. IMHO it is a good value, $51 US for 3, 3.8" x 2.5" 2-layer PCB's.
The layout package cannot make arcs in the trace, so I am limited by rectangular "spirals" for inductor layout.

Any help would be appreciated!
