To Martin,
Yes this is the measurement circuit. But the problem is not the resonance of the dummy inductance? to be the same as the actual loop,? but the equivalent current source value which is

Hi All,
When we introduced the concept of "dummy" areial model the intention was to use an injected test signal for a variety of small active loop antennae ( unshielded and shielded untuned ) as well

With a respect to your thoghts to ascertain? the common mode rejection by a loop antenna has nothing to do with the introduction of concept -? injection of test signal through?a dummy aerial

Agreed - "Magnetic Loop" is shorthand for current derived signal, E-Probe / Active whip or Dipole, is shorthand for voltage derived signal.
But in practice they contain a bit of

Re: Steve ugly-build LZ1AQ using MPS2222 sweeps uploaded to Photos
Antenna theory doesn't really separate E and M fields. The combined response of the antenna is a function of both, meaning that there is no such thing as "magnetic loop". You are correct that in the

Hi Chim-leon Lim,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and practical results on a loop dummy with us. I really appreciate your experiments and find your approach very helpful and informative.

Hi Raphael,
I tried to minimise the problems associated with antenna factor, by using a very small (in proportion to wavelength at the highest frequency) energising loop, and fed it via a resistive

That is important because professionals by training can respond technically correctly. In my opinion, in engineering? we are dealing with the technological applications based on science.

This is in response to Lim's idea how to implement a proper model of dummy aerial for SMA.
His shortcut with this task is how to create a dummy antenna in order to match up Martin's results of

Loudet's model requires a 0R source or ideal voltage source. If the source impedance is higher than 0R, then it does NOT replicate Martin's loop impedance measurement. The Smith chart linked below
