Analysis of the loaded loop antenna

The authors analyze the receiving response of the unloaded and uniformly loaded loops, without approximating the distributed impedance loading. No assumptions are made about the size of the loop. Numerical results are presented. It is shown that a properly chosen distributed resistance results in a flat sensitivity magnitude response and a linear phase response in the oe/sub 0/=180 degrees direction. This property should make the resistively loaded loop useful for pulse reception.<>
