Calculate Antenna Loop Length

Formula

To calculate the Antenna Loop Length (L):

\[ L = \left( \frac{C}{f} \right) \times 0.95 \]

What is an Antenna Loop?

An antenna loop, also known as a loop antenna, is a type of radio antenna that consists of a loop or coil of wire, tubing, or other electrical conductor. This loop is usually designed to operate on a specific wavelength of radio waves, and its size is often a small fraction of the wavelength. The antenna loop works by receiving and transmitting signals through electromagnetic fields that are created by the current flowing through the loop. The directionality and radiation pattern of the loop antenna can be adjusted by changing the shape and orientation of the loop. These antennas are commonly used in applications such as AM broadcasting, shortwave listening, and two-way radio communication systems.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ L = \left( \frac{299792458}{10000000} \right) \times 0.95 = 28.48 \text{ meters} \]

The Antenna Loop Length is 28.48 meters.
