interconnect, transmission line and inductance

loop inductance

Determine the complete current loop path in order to calculate loop inductance of that current loop

The complete path for the current depends on the frequency of the current. For one frequency, the return current will take a particular path, but for a higher frequency the path of the return current may be entirely different!

partial inductance

The first problem with using loop inductance to model the conductors of a loop is that at different frequencies, the return path
