i didn't get u..Normally paracitic caps Q will be higher (infact inf), so if you have paracitics across the tank so overal Q will be dominated i guess.
Sorry please explain if you find any mistake
Thanks,
Raj.
Raj - the message I am trying to give here is that the conditions are unique for the foundry process.
Parasitics are different, resistance of metal layers are different. Both affect inductor Q in a big way.
So, the question has to be looked at within the limitations of a particular foundry process.
