It seems to me your antenna proposal is a hybrid of loop and vertical, why not pacing a vertical near a loop and feeding both in parallel? At that frequency, whatever distance between the two would
Dear Rik, LF Group, An ideal "electric" monopole antenna has a uniform voltage at all points, and a current distribution that tapers off along the wire, while a "magnetic" loop antenna has a uniform
Rik, You have a novel idea. There could be problems of transients with the "synchronous switch" needed to make and break during each RF cycle. Most antennas work in "steady state mode" where the ener
Hi Rik, Looks to me as if the net result is simply going to be a small loop in series with a series-resonant circuit. If antenna dimensions are an appreciable fraction of a wavelength, lumped reactan
For some time I have been "playing arround" with an idea for an alternative antenna. I intend to give it a try when I find some time (during winter), but meanwhile I have put the idea on my webpage :
