Wideband versus Narrowband Mag Loops
Once and for all, let’s understand wideband versus narrowband mag loops. It’s a case of open and closed, circuits that is. Read more
Magnetic Loop Performance as Transducers
You will find a lot of confusion about magnetic loop performance, in particular about how they work differently from normal antennas. Let’s dig in. Read more
Aluminum Core PEX Loop Antenna Material
You can make an aluminum core PEX loop antenna easily. This material is cheap, lightweight and easy to form a permanent loop shape. But hard to find! Read more
Diversity Antennas Vision – Finding My North Star
I built my diversity antennas vision around two wideband loop antennas, at least 100 feet apart, all connected with shielded CAT 7 cable for signals and power. Read more
Think Learn Do – How My Mind Works
All of my projects embrace think learn do, a circular process of discovery. I think of an idea, do something, and learn along the way. Read more
Magnetic Loop Magic Continues – Wideband Next
Looking back, I have had a lot of fun with magnetic loop magic. Next up, I will try my hand at wideband active loops for diversity reception. Read more
A Maker’s Antenna – CARA Learning Conference
This weekend, I will be presenting “A Maker’s Antenna” at the CARA 2017 Learning Conference. Join us if you live in the Calgary area. Read more
Exploring Bias Tee Power Injection
Using bias tee power injection is an easy way to send power to a remote device at the other end of a radio cable.
