If the loop is loss-less and therefore 100% efficient and power matched to the load of the measuring detector. The ‘physics’ demands that the antenna ‘capture cross-section’ should be the same as the capture cross-section of any short dipole. In free-space this is 1.5 / 4pi square wavelengths. The received power is the (average) power density times this (small dipole) cross-section area. The free-space equivalent E and H fields can be found directly from this. This measurement is irrespective and independent of (loss-less) loop size. The ‘proof’ of this is in the better antenna books, such as Kraus and Balanis. <br> What the system Q ends up being does not matter for this proof. Some may have noticed however that it is a matter of considerable (unnecessary) dispute, as reported in the pages of RadCom. However loop (or any antenna) losses do matter, because the cross-section area of an antenna is reduced in proportion to its (in)efficiency. This point is in most of the antenna books. After real conductor losses have been minimised and factored out we find practical outdoor Qs of 100 to 350. In a screened room the loop Q can exceed 600. </span></font></li> <li class=MsoNormal style='color:navy'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>There are similar arguments for short-circuit, open-circuit and resonant electric field measuring ‘whip’ antennas. </span></font></li> <li class=MsoNormal style='color:navy'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Thus you have six choices for measuring the fields of an antenna in a real environment.

You can get results that are within a few dB quite easily, provided the loading effect of the receiver/level meter on the loop is taken into account. However, you do have to be very careful about nearby conductors, particularly the cables connecting the antenna and measuring gear. If one of these is anywhere near resonance, gross errors can be caused, particularly with a small loop. In the upper part of the HF spectrum, say above about 10MHz, this type of effect can be quite difficult to avoid. The best bet is to use a battery powered receiver, with a short lead to the antenna, in the middle of some open ground, in order to minimize the possible parasitic antenna effects. Using the clamp-on “EMC” ferrite cores at several points on the cables can also help, but at least a few turns through the core is needed to get usefully high impedance. Because of the much longer wavelengths, this sort of thing is not so much of a problem at LF – although overhead power or telephone lines can produce large errors. A typical tell tale sign is the signal null is not in the expected direction, or there isn’t a clear null at all.</span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'> </span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'> </span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Cheers, Jim Moritz</span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>73 de M0BMU</span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'> </span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma'>-----Original Message-----<br> <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>From:</span></b> owner-rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org [mailto:owner-rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org] <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>On Behalf Of </span></b>Andy<br> <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Sent:</span></b> </span></font><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma'>15 March 2005</span></font><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma'> </span></font><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma'>12:31</span></font><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma'><br> <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>To:</span></b> rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org<br> <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Subject:</span></b> Re: LF: Untuned loops</span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'> </span></font></p> <div> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=2 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>Thanks to all respondees - I knew it was a simple formula and was (theroretically) an exact way of determining field strength.

It is proportional to H, and presumably F^2, and I seem to recall it is an absolute value, virtually un-influenced by losses, conductor diameter etc. Therefore can be used for accurate H field (and hence far field radiation) signal strength measurements.</span></font></p> </div> <div> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=2 face=Verdana><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'> </span></font></p> </div> <div> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana; color:black'>Andy G4JNT</span></font></p> </div> </div> </div> </blockquote> </div> <!-- end of AOLMsgPart_2_933454df-b8fe-49bd-8705-56a0ae1e11df --></div> </body> </html> <BR> <P><FONT SIZE=2>--<BR> No virus found in this incoming message.<BR> Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.<BR> Version: 7.0.308 / Virus Database: 266.7.3 - Release Date: 15/03/2005<BR> </FONT> </P><BR> <P><FONT SIZE=2>--<BR> No virus found in this outgoing message.<BR> Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.<BR> Version: 7.0.308 / Virus Database: 266.7.3 - Release Date: 15/03/2005<BR> </FONT> </P>
