RF.. One can not magically filter noise, without filtering the actual signals along with it. This applies more to the small receiving loop, comparing shielded to non shielded, but also would apply in most any other case. Say, you have interference with a local origin and a signal with a remote origin, wouldn't it be possible to tell the two apart? E.g. by using two antennas. The received signal is the same on both antennas but the noise is different. This can be used to cancel out the local noise but keep the remote signal. Phasing boxes that operate on this principle are commercially available, so maybe it is possible. Sure, but that's a whole different thing entirely. That's nothing to do with the antennas themselves. But once you move a bit further away and consider the two antennas and phasingbox together as a single antenna, it suddenly is capable of telling apart local noise and distant signal. That is promising. |
