Does anyone know why the distributed winding capacitance of a loop
antenna, or any inductor, degrades the efficiency? It would seem that a loop antenna with 100pF of winding capacitance in parallel with a external capacitor of 200pF would resonate at the same frequency as a antenna with no winding capacitance and a external capacitor of 300pF,but apparently that's not the case. The best explanation I got was that winding capacitance represents 'low Q' and a external tuning capacitor represents ' High Q' What is the difference between high and low Q, and why should a loop antenna with no winding capacitance perform any better than one with 50% of the total capacitance in the windings? Where is the energy loss? Thanks, -Bill |
