I can see how DCR would be reduced with this configuration. I also can't help but notice this foil-coil is also constructed more like a capacitor. At some frequency, this inductor will stop being an inductor and the parasitic capacitance would dominate, essentially turning the inductor into a capacitor. Has anyone tried to measure this stray capacitance?
