With flatspirals only a fewturns are used, sincethe inner turns rapidly become less useful as the area dimin-ishes. The spiral type of coil is comparatively little used in theUnited States. The usual type of coil antenna consists of one or more turnsof wire wound on a square or rectangular frame. One or twoturns of copper wire wound on a simple wooden frame 3 or 4feet square will make a simple coil which will be suitable forsome purposes. For indoor use for all ordinary purposes the. TONLXTSTAG L OFAMPLIFIER • CIRCUIT. COIL ANTENNAS. 335 wire used for a coil antenna may be No. 20 or No. 22 ordinary-insulated copper wire, with solid conductor. The spacing of the turns of a coil depends on the allowablecapacity of the coil. Spacings of one-half inch and 1 inch arecommon; a spacing of one-quarter inch is also used sometimes. The capacity of a coil of given dimensions increases with thenumber of turns, at first rapidly, and then more slowly. Withthe wires close together, the capacity is a maximum and growsrapidly less when the wires are separated, until a certain criti-cal spacing is reached, beyond which the capacity changes veryslowly. For a square coil 8 feet on a side the wires should be placedat least inch apart; for one 4 feet square, inch; and fora 2-foot coil, one-eighth inch. Increasing the distance betweenthe wires decreases the inductance of the coil; at the same timeit
