AWP Presentation (Loop Antenna)

Loop antennas are formed by bending a wire into a loop shape, such as circular, square, or elliptical. They are simple, inexpensive antennas with applications in aircraft direction finding and radio receivers. There are two main types: small loops whose circumference is less than a tenth of the wavelength, and large loops around a full wavelength. Small loops have poor efficiency for transmission due to low radiation resistance, while large loops are more efficient transmitters. Loop antennas operate between 300 MHz to 3 GHz and are used for receiving signals and in some ultra-high frequency transmitters and RFID devices.

LOOP ANTENNAS
 A type of antenna which is formed by bending of a coil or uniform
wire in the form of loop is known as a loop antenna. Basically, in
loop antenna, the RF current-carrying coil is bent to various shapes
like circle, square, rectangle, ellipse, etc.

 Thus we can say it as a current-carrying coil bent in the form of loops


of different shapes is known as a loop antenna. These antennas are
known to be simple, inexpensive and versatile antenna and thus has a
wide range of applications.
DIFFERENT SHAPES OF LOOP ANTENNAS
The bending of the wires into different shapes forms different types of loop
antenna such as circular, rectangular, triangular, elliptical, etc.
  
 It is to be noted here that despite its availability in different
shapes, circular type of loop antennas is widely used. The reason
behind this is that circular loop antennas offer simplicity in
construction as well as analysis. Thus is widely used.

 The operating frequency permitted by loop antenna ranges


between 300 MHZ to 3 GHz.
TYPES OF  LOOP ANTENNAS
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF LOOP ANTENNAS 

1-: SMALL LOOP ANTENNA

2-: LARGE LOOP ANTENNA


SMALL LOOP ANTENNA
Electrically small loop antenna:

The type of loop antenna having a length of wire or


circumference of loop less than one-tenth of wavelength is
known as a small loop antenna.
 C < λ / 10
 It offer small radiation resistance . So, it offers, poor radiating
efficiency.
 Due to this reason these are not used in transmitting
applications.
 Its construction is simple with small size and weight.
Radiation Pattern Of Small Loop Antenna
LARGE LOOP ANTENNAS
Electrically large loop antenna: When the circumference of the loop is
approximately equivalent to free space wavelength then it is referred as
an electrically large loop antenna. This means
C    ̴  λ
 In the case of large loop antennas, the field pattern is such that the null
is in the direction of the antenna axis.

 It offer large radiation resistance . So, it offers, high radiating efficiency.

 Due to this reason these are used in transmitting applications.


APPLICATIONS
As we have already discussed that, loop antennas are majorly used for the
purpose of receiving the signal. Thus these are mainly used in:

 Aircraft direction finders.

 In radio receivers for receiving high-frequency waves.

 Loop antennas are also used as ultra-high frequency transmitters.

 In RFID devices, to detect the position of the transmitter.
