As a rule of thumb, a thin wire has an inductance about 1 nH/mm, so a straight wire about 18 mm long would have the required inductance. For a thicker wire, about 25-30 mm straight wire would be required. Even a single turn would increase the inductance quickly, so you would have to shorten the wire considerably. If 18 nH surface mount inductors exists, why not use them ? At least the inductance would be much predictable. Paul OH3LWR |
