1. A coil, comprising:
- a conductor including a first portion extending in a first level and a second portion extending in a second level, wherein the conductor includes a third portion located on a different level than that of the second portion, wherein an electrical path of the conductor is such that the second portion is located between the first portion and the third portion, wherein the coil is a communication coil, and wherein at least one of;
(i) the level on which the third portion is located is the first level, and the conductor includes a fourth portion extending in the first level, wherein an electrical path of the conductor is such that the fourth portion is located after the first portion, the second portion and the third portion, and a fifth portion is located between the third portion and the fourth portion, and the fifth portion is located on the second level;
or(ii) with respect to at least one of a beginning or an end of a coil, a contiguous electrical path of the conductor subtends an angle totaling at least 600 degrees on a same level.
