Re: Experimenting with Loop Antennas
Megacycles per second was a measure in the past. To be precise, until 1960. With the organization of the International System of Units (SI), the cycle per second was officially replaced by the "hertz"

Re: Experimenting with Loop Antennas
Well said.
Capitalization (not to mention punctuation) is going down the drain in this age of phone texting.
That said...
SI missed its chance to dump "k" for "K", so that capitalization is consistent

Hi Dave,
Are you referring to the balun inside the dummy aerial? If yes, I have initially constructed the dummy aerial as in the top circuit (balun in between single-ended L-network & preamp) in the

Re: Experimenting with Loop Antennas
Fun discussion.
I once found a 31.6875nHz signal in a 50-year barometric pressure record of midnight samples. The rest was 1/f noise.

Re: Experimenting with Loop Antennas
Even as a radio hobbyist, I was looking for mHz signals in the 90's. I imagine many more were, for many more decades before me.
Here's something to think about, I like to toss it out there every now

44.7 microHertz = [approx.] 6.7067664^12 meters
THAT'S a REALLY long wavelength.

Physicist here... beware.
mHz --> means millihertz,? ?10^-3 Hz
MHz --> means megahertz, 10^6 Hz
mc? ?--> means nothing... only mc/s, i.e. megacycles per second is a measure of

If the L-network is single ended - common mode for coax - the balun belongs
BEFORE the network! The balun converts differential mode to common mode.
That's why it is termed a "balun: Balanced (to)

Hi Mike,
Thanks for correcting my mistaken assumption. I was thinking that the imbalance can increase 2nd harmonic generation (IP2), which in turn also increases IP3 because the latter also depends on

Re: Steve ugly-build LZ1AQ using MPS2222 sweeps uploaded to Photos
Imbalance between top and bottom sections affects IP2 (which I don't see in the measurements), and not so much IP3.
Otherwise, very good and thorough work.

mhz? I mean to type 188,495,559.20579 rad/s (left handed approximation) but got tired typing.
Please edit the "mhz" for me and replace it with "mc".
Only geologists know about "milli Hertz"

A couple of observations.

2.) The leads from the bottoms of the loops seem longer than necessary. I'd make them as short and straight as
