You need first to realize that the "shield" IS the antenna. The whole
point of the "shielded loop" is that you can make it very symmetrical, which is just what's needed to reject strong local electrical fields. The symmetry does nothing to reject electromagnetic signals. BUT you can make an "unshielded" loop which is as symmetrical as a "shielded", if you are careful, and get the same advantages. If you really want to build one like a classical "shielded loop" and maintain high Q, just build the "shield" out of copper pipe and put the capacitor across the gap. The wire inside the pipe is just the center conductor of a short piece of coax connected to the feedpoint. If you don't understand this, please see King, Mimno and Wing's "Transmission Lines, Antennas and Waveguides." It's explained quite nicely in the "antennas": chapter. It's also explained reasonably well in Johnson and Jasik's "Antenna Engineering Handbook." Cheers, Tom |
