In this topic, we'll show some pictures with explanations about small loop antenna.
The small loop antenna is a closed loop. These antennas have low radiation resistance and high reactance, so that theirtg 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.
