Subject: LF: Loops again


With all the loop talk that has been going on since before time began has
anyone found a design for a near perfect small loop, suppose its like how
long is a piece of string, obviously the bigger the better but then there is
the diminishing returns senario, it there much noticeable difference between
a 2 meter side square loop and a 4meter.
Which is better a single turn loop, several turns in series, several turns
in parallel and the best method of feed and matching at the loop. <snip>
------------------
This site gives a good treatise on loop antennas from first principles, and
provides the maths to let you consider what to expect with changes in size
and numbers of turns.
