Re: LF: Untuned loops

["Andy" <actalbot@southsurf.com>]

Thanks to all respondees - I knew it was a simple formula and was (theroretically) an exact way of determining field strength.  Just need to make sure the input impedance of the voltmeter is significantly higher than the loop impedance to avoid any loading effects.

 

(Someone here wants to measure the field strength of a transmission in the HF band)

Hi Andy

 

 U = omega * µo * H * area 

 

with µo = 4 * pi * 10^-7 Vs/A/m, omega = 2 * pi * f .

Can anyone recall this equation, I know it was mentioned on this reflector before...

 

What is the output voltage for an untuned small loop into an arbitrarily high impedance?  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.
