Magnetism is manifested as a 'field of vectors', that is, any point in the magnetic field has not only a magnitude, but a direction in space. The four Maxwell equations describe how electric and magnetic vector fields behave and interact.

This page by Keith Greiner describes a magnetic loop antenna project, providing step-by-step instructions to create two versions of a system with one large loop and one small loop. It includes details on how to construct the loops using different materials, along with the necessary equipment like antenna analyzers, tuners, and software. The page is divided into five sections covering project discussion, design summary, an improved small loop, construction steps, and radiation pattern analysis. Aimed at hams interested in building their own magnetic loop antennas, the page offers practical guidance and insights into impedance matching for improved performance.

Chavdar Levkov (LZ1AQ) experimentally compared the performance of small wideband magnetic loops, focusing on their sensitivity and the “loop factor” M (A/L), analogous to the effective height in dipoles. By increasing loop area and reducing inductance—using parallel or coplanar crossed (CC) configurations—sensitivity improved significantly. Measurements at 1.8, 3.5, 7, and 10 MHz showed CC loops yielding up to 9 dB higher current than single loops of equal area. Numerical simulations confirmed M as a reliable predictor of loop sensitivity, with CC loops offering the best performance for a given area, while parallel loops minimized volume. Practical recommendations and design tools were provided for optimizing loop configurations in real-world applications.
