Description:
 
 
The small loop antenna (hfdloop) is a small size full band ring magnetic field active receiving antenna
 
To 500MHz, mainly composed of top jumper board and small ring amplifier board
 
Feeder and 12V linear power supply, in which the top jumper board
 
Switch, different functions can be realized by adjusting the position of the switch
 
The Mobius loop can achieve twice the voltage gain of the ordinary small loop
 
The electric field shielding ring can effectively reduce the interference caused by the electric field in the surrounding environment, such as lightning
 
The structure of unshielded ring is simple, and the whole small ring can be replaced by a thicker conductor
 
Easy to erect. The installation and connection mode of flying fish version small loop antenna is shown in the figure below
 
Antenna,
 
Small ring enlarged plate,
 
Top jumper board
 
Different junctions can be realized at different positions, in which Mobius ring can realize twice the voltage gain of ordinary small ring static electricity

The small ring as a whole can be replaced by a thicker wire, as shown in the figure below
 
 
 

 



The small loop antenna consists of a small loop amplifier, a feeder and a top

1 jumper board, 2 small loop coils (rg402 coaxial cable), 1 5m feeder, 1 1m feeder, 1 12V linear power supply and 2 traceless adhesive hooks.




The amplification board in the flying fish version small loop antenna adopts the low-noise amplification of the improved version lz1aq

The bandwidth is from 50KHz to 500MHz, the gain is greater than 10dB, and has low bandwidth

The input impedance (1.2 Ω @ 1MHz) effectively reduces the electric field interference. 12V linear

Power supply, current not exceeding 150mA.

The specific test curve of the amplification board is shown in the figure below:
