In the sense of a second of time the two sets of oscillations takeplace simultaneously, but in the sense of a fraction of a second they do not reach theirmaximum amplitude simultaneously. When the antenna oscillates at two distinct frequencies, two waves of different length areset into motion. This is an undesirable condition, (1) because the receiving apparatus gen-erally can be tuned only to one of the radiated waves, the energy of the other being lost;(2) a needless amount of interference is caused thereby to the operation of other radiostations. The true coefficient of coupling between two circuits of this character is determinedby the following formula: MK =.

Direct or conductive electrostatic induction may alsobe used. 96 PRACTICAL WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY. Vs —Vi Kr X^a + \h Where Xs = longer wave,Xi = shorter if X equals the wave length to which the primary and secondary circuits are ad-justed independently, then Xa = Xs V 1 + K Xi =XaV 1 — K In other words, if the value of the coupling K is known, the two wave lengths canbe calculated before actual measurement. When the primary winding of the oscillation transformer is placed close to the second-ary winding, perhaps partially telescoped into it, the set is said
