Inductance of a solid disk
I am looking for a formula giving the inductance of a solid disk for a
known diam/material/thickness... Any idea? Thanks for your hels de Pierre VE2PID |

Thanks for your hels de Pierre VE2PID What, exactly, do you mean by "the inductance of a solid disk"? How do you connect to the disk? Are your connection points on opposite ends of a diameter across the disk, or along its axis from the center of one face to the center of the face on the opposite side -- or perhaps some other connection? With a wire (formed into any shape), it's reasonable to assume it's the inductance measured between the two ends of the wire. For a disk, it's not obvious to me. Cheers, Tom |

Cheers, Tom I would think if you measure the inductance from the center of one side of the disk to the cnter of the other side of it would be like a large number of hair pins in parallel. I tried building a collinear antenna around this idea with the vertical part of the antenna a solid piece of CU tubing with the disk place at .5wl points. The problem was that the disc act as capacity hat. Jimmie |

Thanks for your hels de Pierre VE2PID I am taking it, you mean when it is used as a radiating element in the antennas' construction. Such as a few charts which can be found around which predict the inductance of a wire radiating element -- I have never seen, either software or charts/tables/formulas, to predict such ... perhaps EZNEC or MMANA-GAL could be used for such a purpose--I honestly don't know ... Roy would know ... perhaps Cecil is aware of something? Or, do you mean something else? Regards, JS |

It seems that the name is confusing, since it adds inductance instead of capacitance to an antenna. So, since a solid disk adds inductance (the resonnant freq of the antenna drops), we are looking for a formula to evaluate that inductance (and then inductive reactance).. BTW, why don't we use the name 'inductive hat'...?? |

Yes, in the scope of my knowledge, it WOULD, indeed, add inductive reactance to the antenna, however, as Cecil seemed to imply, the effect of the capacitive reactance, you are also adding with the disk, overwhelms the inductive ... however, Cecils' input will be the correct one; consider mine a guess.
