Three recent articles developed an explanation of the YouLoop-2T at MF/lowHF:
- Small untuned loop for receiving – simple model with transformer ;
- A transmission line 1:4 impedance transformer ; and
- Towards understanding the YouLoop-2T at MF/lowHF .
The first and third articles explained the concept of signal/noise degradation (SND) statistic, and gave graphs of the behavior of the subject antennas.
This article draws together those SND plots for two antennas, and some variations to the configurations.
Configurations
Simple loop with transformer
Above, the “simple loop” with 0.5:1 ideal transformer. It could be implemented as a shielded loop (with transformer) with similar behavior (but improved common mode suppression). Continue reading SND implications of variations on the untuned small loop at MF/lowHF
