Loop Antennas for Amateur Radio

A loop antenna is a type of antenna commonly used by amateur radio operators for transmitting and receiving signals. It consists of a loop of wire or other conductive material that is tuned to a specific frequency range. Loop antennas are popular for their compact size, efficiency, and versatility in various frequency bands. They are essential tools for hams looking to communicate effectively and explore different aspects of radio communication.

  • 160 meter full wave loop antenna
    The antenna is a 10 - 160 meter horizontal loop fed with 450 ohm ladder line all the way into the ham shack to an Palstar AT1500BAL balanced line antenna tuner
  • Super Loop Antenna
    The Super Loop Antenna page, designed by Jim W4FTU, provides detailed information on the RadioWorks \'Superloop III\' antenna as an alternative for operators with limited space. The page discusses the physical variations of the antenna, including dimensions and materials used, as well as its electrical characteristics such as the 30\' ladder line. The content is useful for amateur radio operators looking for antenna options for the 80 and 40 meter bands, especially those with small lots or zoning restrictions. The page is well-organized and informative, making it a valuable resource for antenna enthusiasts.
  • AM Antennas
    Author evaluated a custom-built passive AM loop antenna, achieving notable DX reception including KLBJ Austin (230 miles) and WWL New Orleans (700 miles). The antenna operates solely on resonant inductive coupling, enhancing weak signal reception without external amplification. This project illustrates how fundamental RF design—calculating inductance, capacitance, and Q factor—can significantly boost performance of consumer-grade radios. Detailed construction techniques, theoretical background, and optimization strategies for effective loop antenna design are presented for amateur and experimental use.

  • Cheap antenna to make from 160m - 6m
    The antenna is nothing more than a simple 2.4 metre square loop drawing pinned to the internal brick wall of the spare bedroom. Yep, thats right, the inside wall of the spare bedroom - ideal for flat dwellers, hotel rooms or whinging neighbours, The loop has a simple switched inductance at the top of the square loop and uses a simple coaxial stub to tune the antenna. An additional variable capacitor placed across the feedpoint can be used to fine tune the resonance of the antenna, by Andy G0FTD
