CONSTRUCTION
Figure 2 shows the track layout and
component layout of a printed circuit
board design that is suitable for constructing the wideband loop antenna.
This board is unfortunately not available through our Readers Services, so
you will have to etch it yourself. After
this is done, assembling the board
should not take more than around half
an hour, given the small number of
components used.
Constructing the antenna itself is
10mA
