problem in inductance measurement

hi,
i need some answer about.....
1)what type of wire or coil is used for the antenna of rf transmission
2)i have collected some wire and made them a loop of square shape and for measuring its inductance applied it in a rlc circuit.but its not showing any significant value...how can i measure the inductanmce of this coil?

i am trying to transmit a 13.56 Mhz rf transmitter

Any wire in this world, regardless length, shape or diameter, have an inductance. Smaller or bigger.

Good for measuring inductance is to use a precision L meter like this:

There are some other articles on Sonnet's application pages:

You might be able to run the simulation examples in their Sonnet Lite simulator.
