Loop Antennas

Circular and rectangular loop

Loop Antenna Catalog


`loopCircular`	`loopRectangular`	Antenna Element Catalog

Loop antennas are conductors bent into the shape of a circle or a rectangle with a gap in between for terminals. Loops can be electrically small or electrically large. Electrically small loops are used in receiving mode where the signal-to-noise ratio is more important than antenna efficiency. Electrically large loops are used in directional arrays such as Yagi Uda arrays and quad arrays.

Analysis of Basic Delta Loop Antenna over Ground

Analyze the performance of a delta loop antenna over a metal ground. The length of the antenna is λ/3 on each side of the triangle, where λ is the wavelength. Equilateral delta antennas are single-band high frequency (HF) antennas. You vary the baseline parameters of an antenna such as the length and height above the ground to optimize antenna performance [1].
