G9D10
In which direction or directions does an electrically small loop (less than 1/10 wavelength in circumference) have nulls in its radiation pattern?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. Broadside to the loop
A small loop picks up signals in the plane of the loop and has deep nulls broadside to the loop. These sharp nulls make small loops useful for direction finding and noise rejection.
Tip: Small loop nulls broadside to the loop.
