Re: inductor as RF choke
Yes, we have all used inductors as "RF chokes" on things like bias lines, etc.
The inductor would have to be used in a frequency range below its SRF, otherwise at resonance it would have no "filtering effect".
However, I do think it would be confusing to use the terms "inductor" and "RF Choke" interchangeably. When I want an "RF choke", I want something that is a LOSSY inductor (ie has part inductance and part resistance in its series impedance). The lossy nature is what allows you to form wideband rf blocking without fear of resonance with shunt bias capacitors! If you look at a typical "ferrite bead" data sheet, you will see that is has considerable resistive loss.
If you used high Q inductors as an "RF Chokes" with impunity, you could get in trouble in some cases with a parasitic bandpass filter formed in your bias network--such as when you have two series RF Chokes with a DC bias line length of around λ/2 between them.
