Antennas and Wave Propagation: EE 871 Dr. Rashid Ahmad Bhatti

Loop antennas are simple and inexpensive antennas that can have various shapes like circular, triangular, or square. They are used for communication up to 3 GHz and as probes for measuring electromagnetic fields. Small loop antennas have low radiation resistance but multiple turns can improve this. Larger loop antennas radiate similar to a small electric dipole perpendicular to the loop plane.

LOOP ANTENNAS
INTRODUCTION
Loop antennas feature simplicity, low cost and versatility. They may have various shapes: circular, triangular, square, elliptical, etc. They are widely used in communication links up to the microwave bands (up to 3 GHz) They are also used as electromagnetic (EM) field GHz). probes in the microwave bands. Loop antennas are usually classified as electrically small (C < 0.1 ) and electrically large (C ~ ). Here, C denotes the loops circumference. Electrically small loops of a single turn have very small radiation resistance ( (comparable to their loss resistance). Their radiation ) resistance can be substantially improved by adding more turns. Multiturn loops have better radiation resistance although their efficiency is still poor. That is why they are used mostly as receiving antennas where losses are not so important. The radiation characteristics of a small loop antenna can be additionally improved by inserting a ferromagnetic core. Radioreceivers of AM broadcast are usually equipped with ferrite loop antennas. The small loops regardless of their shape have a far field pattern very similar to that of a loops, shape, farfield small electric dipole (normal to the plane of the loop). This is expected because they are equivalent to a magnetic dipole. Note, however, that the field polarization is orthogonal to that of the electric dipole. As the circumference of the loop increases, the pattern maximum shifts towards the loops normal, and when C , the maximum of the pattern is at the loops normal.
