Magnetic Loop Antennas
These antennas are called “Magnetic” because they work with the magnetic component of the electromagnetic field, in contrast to the common standard antennas that are in resonance only on the electric component.
Magnetic antennas can be very compact and are suitable for restricted spaces, does not require radials, can be placed close to the ground and can be used even indoor.
The Magnetic loop antennas usually feature a small bandwidth on their resonance frequency, but have the advantage of less harmonics.
Here we selected 5 interesting projects from our Magnetic Loop Antenna projects page
G4IZH
The resource provides detailed information about a five-band indoor magnetic loop antenna designed for amateur radio operators. This antenna is capable of operating on the 20, 17, 15, 12, and 10 meter bands, making it a versatile choice for various HF communications. Constructed from a single 3-meter length of 22 mm copper tube, the design emphasizes compactness and efficiency, which is particularly beneficial for operators with limited space. The page includes insights into the construction process, tuning, and operational tips, catering to both novice and experienced users. In addition to the technical specifications, the resource also discusses the advantages of using a magnetic loop antenna indoors, such as reduced interference and improved performance in urban environments. It serves as a practical guide for those interested in building their own antenna, offering a straightforward approach to antenna design and construction. Overall, this resource is a valuable addition to the toolkit of amateur radio enthusiasts looking to enhance their station with an effective indoor antenna solution.
VK3YE
Able to cover all frequencies between 3.5 and about 10 MHz, the loop described here is directional, does not require a radial system, and stands just 1.8 metres tall. The antenna can be put together in a short time and is cheap by Peter Parker VK3YE ex VK1PK
N5IZU
This loop it is small and light enough to carry while operating, it disassembles into small but rugged pieces that fit easily in a backpack or gym bag, and it can be tuned from 14 MHz to 30 MHz. This tunable magnetic loop antenna is my contribution to the well established art of amateur loop making. Can be tuned from 14 MHz to 30 MHz.
