We don’t know if [OH8STN] has a military background, but we suspect he might since his recent post is about a “DIY Man Portable Magnetic Loop Antenna.” “Man-portable” is usually a military designation ...

The only way to determine the characteristics of an antenna is to measure its performance since theory alone cannot predict the actual results. The fields generated by antennas are extremely complex ...

This 4-part report discusses antenna fundamentals and the various types of antennas used for short range devices. Fundamentals are presented along with practical design principals. It is excerpted ...

A loop antenna consists of one or more turns of conductive wire wound around a frame of any shape, which is typically circular 1. Loop antennas may be formed from single-conductor wires or ...

The magnetic loop antenna is a familiar sight in radio amateur circles as a means to pack a high performance HF antenna into a small space. It takes the form of a large single-turn coil made into a ...
