What caps should I use for a resonant loop antenna for VLF? I have
some antenna plans and need .2 uf total capacitance to resonate a loop antenna at 60 Khz. I know I should avoid electrolytic and tantalum due to their poor temperature stability. Disc ceramics are so poor thermally that they are out of the question, especially since the caps are going to be outdoors. Silver Mica's are horribly expensive these days, and aren't available much past .01uf anyway. I have a Mouser catalog and plan to order from them soon, but it's not clear which type of cap I should order. Any suggestions for 50,000 pF caps that don't cost a fortune? Note that this is a receive only antenna so voltage rating and current carrying capacity are not an issue. Thanks. T |
