RADIATION CHARACTERISTICS OF LOOP ANTENNAS EXCITED BY TRANSIENTS

Abstract

The radiation characteristics of a rectangular loop loaded at its mid-point with a resistance equal to the radiation resistance, and fed by DC pulses, are derived and compared with measurements. In particular, the time variation of the electromagnetic pulse radiated by this antenna, and also of the voltage pulse induced at the terminals of a similar receiving antenna, is derived. The relationships between the characteristics of these pulses and the loop parameters are stressed.
