40m-10m Delta Loop Antenna by GU3WHN This simple broad band antenna is easy to build, has gain similar to that of a dipole and is tolerant of nearby objects. It can be erected in almost any configuration provided the wires are well separated otherwise it acts as a singe band broadband dipole. https://rsars.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/40m-10m-delta-loop-antenna-gu3whn-iss-1-3.pdf |
A Magnetic Loop Antenna by G3YCC Various articles have appeared describing magnetic loops for HF use, some with complicated methods of remote tuning and the antenna can be quite a useful and interesting project. http://www.zerobeat.net/g3ycc/loop.htm |
A Magnetic Loop Antenna for Shortwave Listening (SWL) by KR1ST The small single turn magnetic loop (SSTML) antenna consists of a single winding inductor, about 3 feet (1 meter) in diameter, and a tuning capacitor. http://www.kr1st.com/swlloop.htm |
Foldable Mag Loop 40m-17m by PAØWIT The small HF magnetic loop is made from standard aluminium profile purchased from a hardware store. The six main sections are 67cm (26.4") long, this length maximises the number of pieces that can be cut from two 2.5m (8.25 ft) lengths of aluminium square tube. https://rsars.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/40m-17m-foldable-mag-loop-pa0wit-iss-1-31.pdf |

HF Receiving Loop by VK2ZAY This experiment was inspired by Peter VK2TPM's receiving loop experiments for 80 metres. My loop is a bit smaller than Peter's, a single turn, the circumference is 4 metres + a little for the aligator clip lead, made from medium gauge mains lamp cord ("zipcord" for the yanks). http://www.vk2zay.net/article/141 |
Magnetic Loop Antenna by DL1GSJ This is the construction of my own indoor magnetic loop. The antenna works fine on the bands from 20m to 10m. It was completely built from junk. https://www.qsl.net/dl1gsj/html/magn.html |
Magnetic Loop Antenna by LA6NCA For communications from 20 to 200 km is this small loop better or as good as a full size field mounted dipole. An HF whip antenna is also mounted on the car. The magnetic loop is fare better than the whip antenna. http://www.la6nca.net/homebrew/loop/index.htm |
Magnetic loop antenna for 160 to 15 metres by VK3YE October 1997's Novice Notes looked at compact antennas that amateurs use to operate from confined locations. The smallest antenna described for 80 metres was a magnetic loop. This article provides all the details needed to build your own. https://vk3ye.com/projects/projmag.htm |
Magnetic Loop With Capacitive Load For 30-10m by HB9MTN A light and portable Magnetic Loop Antenna
with improved Bandwidth and Performance https://www.qsl.net/hb9mtn/hb9mtn_adf_loop.html |
Magnetic antennas by DL7JV Building of antennas could be expensive, on a weekend and the market was closed. The problem was to build the circle. And then still the condenser with high tension strain. There the antenna in the room to be operated should did I first without the remote control. https://www.qsl.net/dl7jv/e.mag.htm |
Multiband Cubical Quad by EI7BA My Quad covers eight bands at present, 30m through10m on HF, and also 6m, and the European 4m band. The original plan was for a five band Quad, but as the arms were longer than required for 20m, I used the extra length to accommodate an extra band. https://www.qsl.net/ei7ba/Cubical%20Quad.htm |
Multiband Deltaloop by DL2HCB After a Qth change last year, I was fortunate to get permission for an outside antenna. The new antenna was built with the following considerations in mind: At least 10 - 20m coverage; Open wire feed to simplify matching ... http://www.zerobeat.net/g3ycc/dl2hcb.htm |
Multiband Vertical Loop Antenna 10, 14, 21, 28 MHz by VE2AZX The wave emitted by the vertical loop may be polarized vertical or horizontal depending on the feedpoint location. http://www.ve2azx.net/technical/AntenneLoop21MHz-3EN.pdf |
My Magnetic Loop Antenna by KR1ST I built this antenna when I lived in an apartment complex which does not allow antennas and where I had no real estate to play with. http://www.kr1st.com/magloop.htm |
PA3GZK's Breedband Actieve Loop Ontvanger Antenne door PAØFRI PA3GZK heeft een flink aantal actieve antennes in allerlei vormen (na)gebouwd en er uitgebreid mee geëxperimenteerd. De hier beschreven antenne gaf veruit de beste resultaten en is het resultaat van vele testen met allerlei schakelingen en systemen. https://pa0fri.home.xs4all.nl/Ant/Active%20antenna/Active%20receiving%20%20loop%20antenna.htm |
Packing Crate Antenna by SMØVPO I have been placed in a situation where a landlord denied permission to erect an antenna. Any form of antenna was unreasonable, even a white-painted broom handle caused interference!! http://sm0vpo.altervista.org/antennas/crate.htm |
Pedestrian mobile magnetic loop for 40 to 10 metres by VK3YE I've described a few magnetic loops for HF pedestrian mobile. This one is my favourite. It's light and robust enough to use for hours at a time yet performs well on the busiest HF bands. https://vk3ye.com/projects/projmal.htm |
Pedestrian mobile magnetic loop for 20 to 6 metres by VK3YE In 2012 I made a 40 centimetre diameter magnetic loop antenna for pedestrian mobile. Covering 21 to 50 MHz. I've since made a SummerLoop II using parts from the Original. https://vk3ye.com/projects/projsum.htm |
Portable Mag Loop For 40m-10m by G8ODE The square loop has 60cm sides and, with the capacitor, tunes from 7.0-30 MHz. The Faraday coupling loop is approximately 1/5 (2.4m + 10cm wire tails) of the circumference of the loop. It is better to make the loop slightlylonger and trim for an SWR of 1:1 (ref 50 ohms) on the lowest band. https://rsars.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/portable-hf-loop-40-10m-g8ode-iss-1-31.pdf |
Portable Small "Magnetic" Transmitting Loop for 40-17 mtrs by N4SPP Mid-2012 I acquired a portable QRP rig: a Yeasu FT-817ND (HF + 2m + 70cm, 5 watt). So I needed a portable loop (40-20 or 40-10). Such loops are available commercially for several hundred euros/dollars. You can make one yourself for a fraction of that price. https://www.nonstopsystems.com/radio/frank_radio_antenna_magloop-small.htm |
Raamantenne voor de 160, 80, 40, en de 20 meterband door PE1KQP Het concept van deze antenne is niet nieuw, maar door de goede verkrijgbaarheid en lage prijs van de zogenaamde hengelmasten ( 12 m lang ) is het mogelijk om een veelzijdige vakantie antenne te maken. http://pa0ebc.nl/pe1kqp/indexa27f.html?page=raamantenne |
Simple RG213 Mag Loop (30m-15m) by G8ODE Its amazing what you can do with a bit of spare coax and an old vintage brass 130PF capacitor with 1mm spacing.
During the Lighthouse weekend, when the local QRN was really bad, this simple loop was constructed and performed
remarkably well. https://rsars.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/simple-rg213-hf-loop-30m-15m-g8ode-iss-1-31.pdf |
SMØVPO-style Spiral Loop Antennas by N4SPP This antenna is very compact: ≈ 120x120 cm (4x4 ft). It is basically a transformer loop antenna: it consists of a multi-turn tuned loop and a small feed loop. The tuned loop is spiral-wound and square, has about ¼ λ total wire length. https://www.nonstopsystems.com/radio/frank_radio_antenna_SM0VPO.htm |
