Re: Experimenting with Loop Antennas
Roland:You've opened up a very large can of enigma. We made many tests with multiple loops some years ago. Not long into the experiments we realized how complex the study would be. Considering all the

Experimenting with Loop Antennas
Hi, I am a new member of this group. Callsign HB9VQQ.
I have been experimenting with Loop antennas for some time. I have been using a Wlelgood 3.1 loop with a diameter of 1m (single loop) for many

Re: loop material question
For inductive reactance reduction of a rectangular cross section conductor compared to a circular one, the width to thickness ratio of about 16:1 is about the point of diminishing returns. This does

The intent of my comment was not to change the topic; rather to ask the question; "If a flat [sheet metal, such as copper] conductor is a lower inductance than a round [copper/aluminum] conductor,

The higher in frequency you go, the more you need ribbon conductors to deal
with monsterous currents line lightning strikes. The reactance does not
change. Its reactance can easily be calculated

Re: Common_Mode_Chokes Video
The ferrite used all came from digikey and is a product of fairite corporation. The coil I used has 3 rod assemblies inside.
1 assembly is made of 1.02 inch diameter beads 1.125 inches long. The other

Re: loop material question
thanks for all the replies everyone. Much appreciated. I’ve been ruminating on the connection point. Supporting and fabricating the loop is the easy part. I don’t think having a squared off end of
