Have you read Microchip's documentation ? http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/00710c.pdf http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/00678b.pdf Describes the inductance calaculations for antennas. How thin you have the wire is up to you. Could be a trace on a PCB or copper embedded in plastic sheet (like those connector ribbons) I wonder if conductive ink would work ? -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
