EHam Reviews of the Alpha Loop antenna line. Assembles and disassembles from the included field bag in 60 seconds. As this antenna is a loop, there are no taps on coils and no counterpoise wires needed. Has a built in tuner that allows you to easily match the antenna for transmit and receive from 7 to 29.7 MHz (40 Meters through 10 Meters).
High noise rejection is also one of the favorite features of this antenna for many operators in RFI prone environments. The Alpha Loop Antenna appears as a large resonant circuit to your transceiver. The loop is a large single turn inductor of the circuit. Due to the large size of the inductor, radiation of your signal very easily takes place.
Better coupling will still be the result of using a shielded coupling loop. Where return-loss (VNA parameter S11) increases rapidly when the distance is increased from 0 to 2-3 cm (1), then becomes flat with further increase in distance. Over the initial distance increase, the shielded coupling loops has about 6 dB less return-loss, i. BETTER coupling than a non-shielded coupling loop.Additionally, shielded coupling loops had slightly better SWR than the unshielded coupling loops, which yields greater ERP! The Alpha Loop Antenna is tuned on 40 through 10 Meters by turning a single knob at the antenna. Simply tune for the loudest noise floor from your speaker, then fine tune with either the SWR indicator tube that is built into the Alpha Loop, the SWR meter in your rig, or use an antenna analyzer.
