1. Introduction
The paper discusses the challenge of computing the mutual inductance of conventional coils, which has been a topic of research since the time of Maxwell, [
1]. While analytical solutions in the form of elementary functions exist for linear coils, more complex configurations, such as circular and elliptical coils require solutions in terms of elliptic integrals, Bessel and Struve functions, and hypergeometric convergent series, [

8]. Numerical method and commercial software packages are also available, but there is interest in developing analytical and semi-analytical methods for more efficient computations. Reviewing the corresponding literature in the physics, electromagnetics as well as in the scientific paper in the engineering one cannot find too much the calculation of the self-inductance and the mutual inductance of the coils of the conical form. Recently in [
9] the calculation of the self-inductance of thin sheet inductor is obtained in the semi-analytical form. Using the same reasoning, in this paper, a semi-analytical formula for calculating the mutual inductance between a thin conical sheet and a filamentary circular loop is given. Coils are coaxial. The new presented method is based on complete elliptical integrals of the first, second, and third kind, along with a term to be solved by numerical integration. As the special case of this new developed formula is the formula for calculating the mutual inductance between the wall solenoid and the filamentary circular loop. The calculation of the previously mentioned coils is useful for conical inductors which are of ideal form for ultra-broadband applications up to 40 GHz since the conical shapes limit effects of stray capacitances and effectively substitute a series of narrow-band inductors, creating the high impedance over a very wide bandwidth, and in wireless power transfer systems that utilize conical inductors [

20]. All cases either the regular or the singular are explained with precise explications. The validation of the presented method is performed using the single and double integration as well as the semi- analytical formula. The Mathematica files with implemented formulas are available upon request.

4. Discussion
For the first time in the literature the new formula for calculating the mutual inductance between the thin conical sheet inductor and the filamentary loop is given. Coils are coaxial. Conical coils used in RF /Microwave and mm Wave systems have extremely ultra-wideband electrical responses and are commonly attached to transmission lines to bias microwave devices. These coils have traditionally been designed experimentally without the aid of modern 3D electromagnetic simulators due to the difficult model creation process. The calculation of the presented mutual induction is obtained in the semi-analytical form over the complete elliptical integrals of the first, second and third kind as well as one term that does not have the analytical solution and it must be solved numerically. The kernel function of this integral is continuous function on the interval of integration. All procedures of the calculation are given promptly so that the potential users can easily use them choosing the appropriate formula. The representative numerical examples are given to validate the presented method. The presented method can serve as the base to calculate the mutual inductance between more complex configurations such as the coaxial thin sheet inductor the thin wall solenoid inductor and the two coaxial thin conical inductors. It will be the future work which is the continuation of the new presented method.
