Hi John
I've also tested
some polynomial expressions, the best seems to be a 5th grade one, that
is:
7.074632 - x 5.16214 +
x^2 1.870903 - x^3 .3380672 + x^4 .02977327 - x^5
.001017036 but the values are not matched properly. 73

Hi Cesare,
Funny thing, I too wasted a lot of time yesterday messing about with
Excel trying to find a fit and the best I came up with was that it was
approx. k/log(D/d). Polynomial fits didn't seem to work too well.
Thanks for the formula. It doesn't quite work though for values of
D/d from 2 to 4, but perhaps the data were only approximations?
The
data alone are pretty useful. Looks like that time at College wasn't
entirely wasted, hi! BTW Bill pointed out that the minimum separation
can be small as you like if you use Litz wire and can get Rrf down or close
to Rdc, because Reff/Rrf = 1 + (q - 1) * SQRT (1-Rdc/Rrf) reduces to
1 when Rdc = Rrf as an alternative to q = 1.
Thanks again. 73,
John, G4CNN
