CM K5RP, converted with 4nec2 on 29-Mar-06 22:08 CM K5RP CM This was described in the ARRL Antenna Compendium, Vol. 2. CM A single loop constructed with these dimensions is about CM resonant and has a feedpoint resistance of around 12 ohms. CM By putting a second turn on the loop, the resistance is CM quadrupled to near 50 ohms to ease matching. The pattern is CM essentially that of two verticals, since the radiation from CM the horizontal portion cancels. CM This antenna makes an excellent illustration of the three CM "real" ground models. Run it with MININEC, Fast, and High CM Accuracy grounds, save each output-file with a different CM name and compare the far-field patterns.
