Re: Question regarding PCB board in close proximity with Primary Coil (DRSSTC)

I just did some initial calculations, and i think i should be able to 
adequately illuminate a single LED from a 1-2 turn coil on a PCB board.

Calculations:
Primary Coil (12uH)
LED Coil (0.3uH) 1-2 turns, 2 inch diameter on copper board
Coupling (calculated with MANDK) k = 0.02 (LED Coil about 2.5 inches 
below bottom turn of primary)
Avg Current for 300us pulse, 100Hz PRF is about 20mA.  A bit high, 
but for a ballpark, not too bad.

Time to prototype!!!
