One- wavelength loop

Feed Impedance: 100

Length of each side: /4
F/B Ratio: 2dB
Conductor length:
Gain: 2.1 dBd
Radiation Pattern: OMNIDIRECTIONAL
They are much quieter than a dipole or a vertical, have a broader bandwidth and will usually out perform a dipole
antenna. Its radiation is maximum perpendicular to the plane of the loop and minimum in any direction in the plane
containing loop.

Small Loops
Conductor length: 0.1 - 0.085
Directional Pattern: BIDIRECTIONAL (vertically polarized), OMNIDIRECTIONAL (horizontally polarized)
A small loop can be considered to be simply a large coil, and the current distribution in such a loop is the same as in a coil.
That is, the current has the same phase and the same amplitude in every part of the loop.
It is a closed loop. These antennas have low radiation resistance and high reactance, so that their impedance is difficult to
match to a transmitter. As a result, these antennas are most often used as receive antennas, where impedance mismatch loss
can be tolerated. The small loop is often referred to as the dual of the dipole antenna, because if a small dipole had a
magnetic current flowing (as oppose to electric current as in a regular dipole), the fields would resemble that of a small loop.
Ferrite core loops
Modern AM radios usually use a loop antenna wound around a ferrite rod to increase its inductance without requiring such a
large size. The term loop stick refers to the underlying loop antenna and the stick shape of the ferrite rod.
As with all small loops, loopstick antennas are most practical at lower frequencies such as the medium-wave (520
1610 kHz) and long-wave (150300 kHz) AM broadcast bands, using ferrite materials which are not too lossy at these
frequencies. A multiband receiver may contain tap points along the winding in order to tune the loopstick antenna at widely
different frequencies.
As with all small loop antennas, loopstick antennas are largely immune to locally generated (within the near field) electrical
noise, as they are coupled directly to the magnetic field. Loopstick antennas are also used in radio direction-finding (RDF)
applications.

Aperiodic loop Array

F/B Ratio: 10 dB
Radiation Pattern: OMNIDIRECTIONAL

This antenna is a wideband array of loop antennas. Unlike most of the loops, the loop elements in an aperiodic array are
untuned. This antenna is omnidirectional because it is purposely unbalanced, and also because the isolating resistor causes
the antenna to appear as two closely-spaced short monopoles.
Loop Skywire Antenna
Some call it a Skywire Loop Antenna, some call it a W0MHS Loop Skywire Antenna, nowadays it's called a Full Wave
Loop Antenna but it still is a force to be reckoned with. It is effectively omnidirectional over most real earth. It exhibits a
good signal to noise ratio. It operates on all bands (harmonics) above the design or fundamental frequency and fits on almost
every amateurs lot. This antenna is a magnetic version of the open wire, center-fed electric dipole. The antenna has one
wavelength of wire in its parameter at fundamental frequency.
