Default Loop Antenna Polarization

Not sure what you mean. You are aware that magnetic loops and loops are
not the same thing. Magnetic loops are a subset of loop antennas.


To add a little confusion, the convention is for the polarization to
be that of the E-field (electric field) and not that of the H-field
(magnetic field), even if the communications ocurrs using the H-field
as in a shielded loop antenna.

Small loops (0.1 wavelength circumference) are also a subset of loop
antennas.

Loop antenna users are also polarized. Some users hate them, while
other users swear by them. There is some middle ground, but not in
public forums.
