CM N4PC Loop (CQ, Dec. 1990), converted with 4nec2 on 29-mrt-06 14:37 CM N4PCLoop CM This multiband horizontal loop antenna was created by Paul CM Carr, N4PC, and described in December, 1990 CQ Magazine. A CM unique feature is that it's driven at opposite corners by CM out-of-phase signals as in the W8JK antenna. This results CM in an overhead null on all bands. If you look at the input CM file description, you'll see two (split)sources shown IN phase. CM This is necessary due to the direction current is assumed CM to flow in the wires. When multiple sources are placed in CM connected wires as done here, you have to check the CM resulting currents to make sure they're flowing in the CM directions you thought. If not, you must reverse one or CM more sources. Note also the relatively large number of CM segments for each wire. On 20 meters, the 51-foot sides are CM approaching a full wavelength long, so it's necessary to CM use an appropriately large number of segments. CM This is also an illustration of the use of split sources to CM allow source placement at wire junctions.
