Re: searching for a passive receiving shielded loop for medium wave broadcast band
I uploaded a triple shield passive loop that is a common monitor antenna for b'cast stations. I use it with a 15-20dB preamp for home entertainment. That gives a signal strength equal to my 160-meter

STLcalc v2.0.5x available
There's more that I want to add to the v2.0.6 update than just the Q calculation fix, mostly related to a configuration panel, plus some additional refinements to improve accuracy.
Rather than wait

STLcalc program correction - missing attachments
I guess they're stripping attachments. The two pictures I referenced are now in my Dropbox:

STLcalc program correction
Thanks to Roger for pointing out the review by Owen Duffy. I have been a fan of his work for a long time and it saddens me that I messed up one item in the recent updates to my program. For a long

Over the past several days I have been asked by some users of my STLcalc program why I have not responded to a rather snarky email to the loopantennas reflector from Jim, AA5CT. For the same reason I

Re: Optimizing Small Untuned Loop Antennas
Start of reading Gentry¡¯s paper from page 26 to understand the matching technique proposed.
Talking about the radiation efficiency for small antennas the value is low and there is no improvement

Re: FW: [loopantennas] Optimizing Small Untuned Loop Antennas
Although Gentry uses the term "matching", I don't see his method optimizing the power transfer or achieving the impedance matching on either end of the network.
It only generates the desired frequency

Re: FW: [loopantennas] Optimizing Small Untuned Loop Antennas
All,
For an illustrative purpose you may read De Gentry's work about the broadband matching of a loop antenna but the calculated by him filter elements you cannot use because he designed his filters

Re: FW: [loopantennas] Optimizing Small Untuned Loop Antennas
Good morning Michael,
If you google the thesis about" broadband matching of a loop antenna by De
Gentry" you will get a lot of actual filters with values for the parts and a
performance curve for

Re: FW: [loopantennas] Optimizing Small Untuned Loop Antennas
For those of you that are interested in matching a small wideband loop antenna there is an interesting article ( actually a thesis ) from 1966. The paper describes the use of a low pass filter that is

Chris Trask's 2008 paper "Wideband Loop Antenna Matching" is a good starting point.

Hi Raphael,
Thanks for your reply and comments.
I need to spend some time reviewing them in order to better understand the points you are making.
I think my main problem is differentiating between
