Across application areas, air-core inductors are often used for wireless power transfer since in most applications, an
air gap of several millimeters or more is expected, and adding a ferrite core would not change the system's performance
by much in these circumstances. A common way to use ferrites in WPT applications is magnetically shielding the
inductor's back side with a ferrite plate such that the field does not extend beyond the coil's back side, and to reduce
eddy current losses when the WPT coils are placed near metal
by much in these circumstances. A common way to use ferrites in WPT applications is by magnetically shielding the
inductor's back side with a ferrite plate such that the field does not extend beyond the coil's back side, thereby
increasing the intended mutual inductance while simultaneously reducing eddy current losses when the WPT coils are
placed near metal

\section{Twisted Inductor Design}
We can approach twisted inductors by construction. Let us first consider a simple, planar, circular spiral coil with a
fixed pitch. We will ignore trace width for now, and consider the trace a thin wire. We will assume the inductor's ports
are both located on the positive $x$-Axis. We can rotate it so its first port aligns with the $x$-Axis. To
minimize the loop area of the inductor's connections, inductors are usually designed with both ports close to one
another, so we can also assume its second port aligns with the $x$-Axis.
In this section, we will provide a detailed derivation of the layout of twisted inductors. We can approach this layout
by construction. Let us first consider a simple, planar, circular spiral coil with a fixed pitch. We will ignore trace
width for now, and consider the trace a thin wire. We will assume the inductor's ports are both located on the positive
$x$-Axis. We can rotate it so its first port aligns with the $x$-Axis. To minimize the loop area of the inductor's
connections, inductors are usually designed with both ports close to one another, so we can also assume its second port
aligns with the $x$-Axis.
The trace trajectory of a standard planar spiral inductor can be parameterized in polar coordinates $r, \varphi$ based
on an Archimedean spiral: \todo{For the lulz, cite Archimedes here}
