Default Question on Antenna Voltage

AndyS wrote in news:6393ff9e-5924-4e79-bd65-
:

Andy asks

When one uses the equations for a loop antenna to determine what
voltage will be developed at the antenna terminals due to a passing
signal,
is the calculated voltage with the antenna terminated in an open
circuit,
or a resistance equal to the characteristic impedance of the antenna,
or some other load ?

I haven't seen any of the texts state specifically whether the
voltage
is open circuit or otherwise....


The article at

answer your question.
