Re: Measuring S11 or frequency range of an active SRL
Hi Dirk,
They way I have done it in the past whilst trying to optimise loop and loop amplifier setups, was to place a small loop (as small as possible) within the main loop, and feed the small loop

Re: Measuring S11 or frequency range of an active SRL
The proper way would be to set up a calibrated test transmitter in the far field zone and sweep its frequency. You can read how LZ1AQ did it on his website.
The gain (or more correctly, antenna

Measuring S11 or frequency range of an active SRL
Perhaps a silly question:
What is the best way to measure the frequency range of an active SRL?
I have built a 1m diameter loop with 10mm^2 copper with a NE592 amplifier.
First tests show, that it

Re: STLcalc: the missing Linux update message attachments
Joe,
Let me add my five cents to your explanation. Any small antennas when their sizes ( either the loop antenna perimeter or the length of dipole antenna ) are physically small, say ten times of

Re: STLcalc: the missing Linux update message attachments
Hi Frederico
The losses impact the antenna's efficiency which is a reciprocal thing ie it affects both TX and RX, however on RX we often use very low efficiency antennas, especially when we want a

Re: STLcalc: the missing Linux update message attachments
Hello *VE7VXO.*
I have a doubt regarding the losses you mention, which, I understand, are on the transmission with this type of antennas.
But, this type of losses like the ones you mention in point 1

Re: searching for a passive receiving shielded loop for medium wave broadcast band
Take a look at my project here:

It is 100% shielded and 100% balanced (which may make some difference in null

Re: searching for a passive receiving shielded loop for medium wave broadcast band
Oh, yes..... I also have a 1-Meter diameter of 0.5" copper tubing loop
which is tuned and I occasionally use it for transmitting during the peak
of lightning season. The Q is extremely high. 2:1 SWR

Re: searching for a passive receiving shielded loop for medium wave broadcast band
Shielded untuned loops are easy to build and far less expensive than buying
one ready-made. I have two which I built: 1) A 2-Meter diameter 2"
copper pipe with three internal turns and 2) A

Re: searching for a passive receiving shielded loop for medium wave broadcast band
Hi Fred; It's non-resonant so it acts like the secondary of an air-core transformer. I had a 48" version for LOWFER work (136 and 472 KHz), but really couldn't see enough signal gain to account for

Re: searching for a passive receiving shielded loop for medium wave broadcast band
Good morning Bob,
Do you possibly have the same design for 100khz - 500khz? Basically I
think the only difference would be the wire length and maybe the loop
diameter.
Thanks

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
