Nominal Impedance of Loop Antenna

"Is there a nominal impedance for a loop antenna?"
Kraus` 3rd edition of "antennas" is a good reference.
From page 207 we see the radiation resistance is proportional to the
square of the number of turns.
On page 209 Kraus gives a graph of radiation resistance versus loop
size. We know that radiarion resistance is less the smaller the loop
area. From the graph, a one-wavelength circumference loop slightly
exceeds 100 ohms.
