Antenna Frequency Loop Resonant Resonant frequency

AI Thread Summary

To determine the wire length needed for a loop antenna based on its diameter and desired frequency, users are advised to consult the ARRL handbook, which provides comprehensive guidance on antenna construction. The handbook includes formulas and practical tips for building various types of antennas, including loop antennas. Accessing this resource can help ensure accurate calculations for wire length. The discussion highlights the importance of reliable reference materials in antenna design. Utilizing established resources is essential for effective antenna construction.

Hello All,

I'm wondering if there is some nifty formula out there that will tell me how much wire I will need to wind a loop antenna if I know what the diameter of the loop will be and the frequency that I want to tune into?

Thanks,

Try the ARRL handbook.
They cover construction of all sorts of antennas.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
