    Loop Antenna PDF

    Uploaded by

    Omar F'Kassar
    The document summarizes key properties of loop antennas. It discusses that loop antennas come in different shapes but circular loops are most common due to simplicity of construction. Loop antennas are classified as electrically small or electrically large based on their circumference. Electrically small loops have poor radiation but are used for receiving due to their good signal-to-noise ratio. Electrically large loops can be used in directional arrays and radiate maximally along their axis, forming an end-fire antenna. The document provides examples of loop antenna radiation patterns and equivalent circuits.

    Introduction
    • Loop antennas take many different forms such as a rectangle, square,
    triangle, ellipse, circle
    • Circular loop is the most popular because of the simplicity of construction
    • A small loop (circular or square) is equivalent to an infinitesimal magnetic
    dipole whose axis is perpendicular to the plane of the loop.
    • Loop antennas are usually classified into two categories
    ▫ Electrically small (C < λ/10)
    ▫ Electrically large (C ∼ λ)
    ▫ Electrically small antennas are those whose overall length (circumference)
    • Most of the applications of loop antennas are in the
    ▫ HF (3–30 MHz)
    ▫ VHF (30–300 MHz)
    ▫ UHF (300–3,000 MHz)
    ▫ Microwave band

    Loop Antenna
    • Inductive in nature
    • Electrically small Loop antennas
    ▫ Small radiation resistances that are usually smaller than their loss resistances
    ▫ Very poor radiators, and so not employed for transmission in radio
    communication
    ▫ Usually used in receiving mode when antenna efficiency is not important as SNR
    ▫ Maximum of the radiation pattern in the plane of the loop
    • Electrically Large Loop Antenna
    ▫ used primarily in directional arrays, such as in helical antennas, Yagi-Uda arrays,
    quad arrays
    ▫ The maximum radiation is directed toward the axis of the loop forming an end-
    fire antenna
