    Magnetic Loop Antenna

    Updated

    This small transmitting loop antenna is 1 meter high above average ground, so the radiation pattern is not donut-shaped as expected for a small loop in free space. The value of the tuning capacitor is indicated for each resonance frequency.

    Large loop: 70 cm in diameter, RG-8 cable.

    Small loop: 15 cm in diameter, RG-6 cable. Inductive coupling between the feedline and the large loop, spacing of 2 cm.

    The color scale on the loops indicates the current flowing for a reference voltage of 1 V.
