Hi Topbanders, I read the very fine presentation by Eric Scace, K3NA, at 2009 Dayton Antenna Forum on a new Rx Loop Array. http://www.kkn.net/dayton2009/dayton-2009-antenna-forum.html I like to test

I'll be glad to answer question, Luis. In general the design goal for the matching network was to achieve an extremely low SWR (for 75 ohm cable). An excellent match means the feedline can be used as

I built a loop the same size as in the forum paper and the bandwidth was something like 10% of what was shown. I used critical coupling (ie a conjugate match). In order to cover the whole 160 meter b

I'm still confused. The loop has an unloaded Q of about 100. Somehow, this is "matched" to Zo with a 10% bandwidth. Where is the lossy element if not R1. Could it be core loss in the MPP core? Why co

Hi Rick, many thanks for your comments. I'm going to read also your article on NCJ Sep/Oct 2009: there is always something to learn from you. Eric very kindly provided a lot of details, but I underst

The lumped element delays shown on my web site are virtually identical to coax delay lines when used within the recommended bandwidth. They use additional elements to get flat delay. You might have b

I thought about lumped components for the delays. I did not have time to evaluate a lumped-component system for maintaining the desired phasing over the entire band. Did you look into this aspect, Ri

Hi Eric, I am interested in a statement in your paper, "Beverages don't work over high(ly) conductive earth" By "not work", do you mean * Low RDF? * Pattern skewing? * Low output? I have a set of rem

This may be very simplified. I am far from a Beverage expert, but it was explained to me once that the Bev works well over poorly conducting soil because the wavefront is no longer just vertically or

That is generally true, those who tried Beverages over good ground are not very pleased, probably due to the low signal levels. Vic, W1WCR (?) in his Wave Antenna Handbook describes Wave Antenna that

In the most simple explanation of the theory of operation of the Beverage antenna you must understand that the single wire above (or on) the ground is 1/2 of an unbalanced transmission line. The eart

I would only wonder how well the rear null would actually perform in that scenario. Certainly putting the null to the local noise is a good thing, and the opposite would be absurd, but typically beve
