Funny you bring up the loop antenna. Thats definitely one of the answers I
ran across. Though I was trying to avoid the wire loop.
But that said actually what I need to drive can be quite a small loop so
maybe the right answer.
Along those lines I need to look at the driving Z. Sort of
by making a loop around the territory, on which you would like to
receive the signal, inside of that loop you will have a very decent
reception without using to high transmit power a 100' x 200' area could
be covered with 100mW, since the wave length of the used low
frequencies is multiple
Paul,
You really don't want to be building an antenna that radiates energy, which
is a far-field
concept. In your case, at 30 ft range, you're so far inside the near field
that all the
antenna articles in the world won't help, since they address radiating into
the far field.
That's what WWVB
Working on the wwvb simulator and it works really well. On to the last
piece. Transmission over maybe 30 ft.
Ever notice everyone that makes a simulator has the clock on top?
Well thats because its pretty hard to get a 60 KHz signal actually out.
Even though I know loopsticks are not great
