from GW4ALG> I'm very grateful to Bob ZL2CA for his important observations and comments. Firstly, a couple of points of clarification: 1) My loop is orientated in the vertical plane. It is a delta-lo
Steve, Do I take it that your loop lies in a horizontal plane? Most of the frame loops for LF receiving are in a vertical plane. Thus there is a further matter of polarisation to consider (and it is
8V p-p in 50 ohms is 0.16W, not 60mW So you have 34dB coupling - you were right to expect more than 40dB ! That's more like it! (I think my conversion to rms went wrong.) I'll use the formula below
The measured voltage was 8 volts peak-to-peak, corresponding to a power of about 60 mW. 8V p-p in 50 ohms is 0.16W, not 60mW So you have 34dB coupling - you were right to expect more than 40dB ! Andy
