When Sweeping a LZ1AQ amp you need to use a 1:1 transformer between the VNA and the amplifier. You also need to calibrate the VNA on the amp side of the 1:1 transformer. What I use for a 1:1

I'd also suggest -50 or -60 dBm input through the CM to DM transformer. With gain, -30 dBm is a bit much to assure remaining in the linear region. Used as the '2222 are in the amp, I have no idea of

I just found an old LZ1AQ board I prototyped some time ago using MP222A transistors. I connected a 20 dB attenuator on the amplifier output, and made a quick 1-50MHz sweep using a LiteVNA64 and

While replying to steve I realized I might be close to saturating the VNA input. So I will insert an attenuator after LZ1AQ output and see how it goes.

Steve, My setup is simple: The VNA is a NanoVNA, which is a self-powered VNA, hence no ground influence, same goes for the laptop connected to it. *1) I did not use any balun or transformer to

Hi Steve and Caaarlo, As an aside. If you use the same construction technique as shown in the photo that Caaarlo posted. /g/loopantennas/photo/296346/3804668 Initially cover the

Hi Caaarlo, Thanks for your interesting comments. Please tell me the exact setup and equipment you used to do your own gain measurements, and what input level did you use? Thanks, Steve AA7U

Steve, Thank you for the compliments. I have just measured gain as per your request, and mine is almost flat: 1MHz 33.15dB 7.1MHz 33.51dB 30MHz 33.50dB At 1MHz I am sure that the lower gain is due

I had some MPS2222 transistors and built up a quick LZ1AQ and swept it, with the sweeps and picture of the ugly-build added to the Photos. This is only for comparing? with Caaarlo's build and sweeps

Ok, I built the prototype an obtained two sweeps withut input filter: /g/loopantennas/album?id=296346 Transistors for common base (input stage): Motorola MPS2222A

Hi Jim Have read that article many times a good while ago whilst designing my big 160m loops, ( along with all of Leigh’s papers etc.) As mentioned designed with Leigh Turner, whom incidentally

Hi Jim, It is basically four inverted L antennas mounted at 90 degrees to each other and connected in parallel, fed against earth radials. It forms a short, fat, top loaded, monopole, and is handy

I have alluded to this before: I actually use a 1/4 WL circumference tuned loop on 160 meters (110 ft circumference) with good results, on both the digital subbands AND on voice (SSB) talking across

Scaling, think scaling. I get the impression the ref'd website was not read w/comprehension. The loop represents:? (1) 1/4 WL cir. at 40m, (2) 1/8 WL cir. at 80m, and (3) 1/16 WL cir. at 160 meters.

This needs a challenge all its own; are you at al familiar with the Kinstar antenna? It was developed for broadcast use, and is a fraction of the height of a 1/4 WL vertical, yet performs quite within

re: "What has this to do with the little loop in question." I don't know ... (1) can you scale things in your mind? Do you understand what I mean by scale, reduce by a factor for frequency and for

For the LF bands definitely, especially in an urban location. A lot of amateurs use that arrangement, especially on 160m. It provides the ability to null out local noise, which tends to be
