"For instance, a coil might be 10+j300 ohms or a cap might be 2-j500 ohms." A small loop antenna with a perimeter only a small fraction of a wavelength has almost uniform current throughout. Its impedance is an inductive reactance in series with a resistance. The U.S. Bureau of Standards published inductance formulas for single-turn and several-turn loops in Bulletin 74. Results can`t take into account loss from radiation so they are approximate. Arnold King gives an approximate formula for the radiation resistance of a small one-turn loop in "Transmission Lines, Antennas, and Wave Guides": Re = 20(Beta)to the 4th power times A squared Beta=2pi/lambda A=area enclosed by the loop.
