- A loop antenna is a radio antenna consisting of a loop or coil of wire, tubing, or other electrical conductor, that for transmitting is usually fed by a balanced power source or for receiving feeds a balanced load. Within this physical description there are two (possibly three) distinct types:
Large loop antennas (or self-resonant loop antennas or full-wave loops) have a perimeter close to one or more whole wavelengths at the operating frequency, which makes them self-resonant[a] at that frequency. They are the most efficient of all antenna types for both transmission and reception. Large loop antennas have a two-lobe radiation pattern at their first, full-wave resonance, peaking in both directions perpendicular to the plane of the loop[b]Halo antennas are shortened dipoles that have been bent into a circular loop, with the ends not quite touching. Some writers prefer to exclude them from loop antennas, since they can be well-understood as bent dipoles, others make halos an intermediate category between large and small loops, or the extreme upper limit for small loops: In shape and performance halo antennas are very similar to small loops, only distinguished by being self resonant and having much higher radiation resistance. (See discussion below)Small loop antennas (or magnetic loops or tuned loops) have a perimeter smaller than half the operating wavelength (typically no more than 1 /3~ 1 /4 wave). They are used mainly as receiving antennas, but are sometimes used for transmission despite their reduced efficiency; loops with a circumference smaller than about 1/ 10 wavelength become so inefficient they are rarely used for transmission.[c] A common example of small loop is the ferrite (loopstick) antenna used in most AM broadcast radios.[d] The radiation pattern of small loop antennas is maximum at directions within the plane of the loop, so perpendicular to the maxima of large loopsCite error: There are <ref group=lower-alpha> tags or {{efn}} templates on this page, but the references will not show without a {{reflist|group=lower-alpha}} template or {{notelist}} template (see the help page).
