A circular loop, of loop radius λ/30 and wire radius λ/1000, is used as a transmitting/receiving antenna in a back-pack radio communication system at 10 MHz. The wire of the loop is made of copper with a conductivity of 5 .7 ×10 7 S/m. Assuming the antenna is radiating in free space, determine the (a) radiationresistan ce of the loop;  (b) loss resistance of the loop (assume that its value is the same as if the wire were straight );  (c) input resistance;  (d) input impedance;  (e) radiation efficiency.

Question

A circular loop, of loop radius λ/30 and wire radius λ/1000, is used as a transmitting/receiving antenna in a back-pack radio communication system at 10 MHz. The wire of the loop is made of copper with a conductivity of 5 .7 ×10 7 S/m. Assuming the antenna is radiating in free space, determine the
(a) radiationresistan ce of the loop; 
(b) loss resistance of the loop (assume that its value is the same as if the wire were straight ); 
(c) input resistance; 
(d) input impedance; 
(e) radiation efficiency.
