E9H10

How can the output voltage of a multiple-turn receiving loop antenna be increased?

  • A.By reducing the permeability of the loop shield
  • B.By utilizing high impedance wire for the coupling loop
  • C.By increasing the number of turns and/or the area enclosed by the loop (correct answer)
  • D.All these choices are correct

WhyA multiple-turn receiving loop antenna's output voltage can be increased by increasing the number of turns and/or the area enclosed by the loop. A multiple-turn receiving loop antenna's output voltage can be increased by adding more turns and/or increasing the physical area the loop encloses, since both changes directly increase how much of the passing magnetic field the loop actually links and converts into voltage, answer C. Reducing shield permeability and using high-impedance coupling loop wire aren't what increases a receiving loop's output voltage, so "all these choices" overstates it.
