Design Methods for Control Class MicroRadio -Parts 5-6 of 6 PartsLoop Antenna Basics and Regulatory Compliance for Short-Range
Radio
Parts 5&6 of this series addresses the basics of loop antenna design for Short-Range Radio
using integrated PLL transmitters. The several basic matching methods are reviewed and
contrasted for efficiency and harmonic performance, and a fundamentally sound and
apparently new tapped loop antenna analysis based on the underlying electromagnetics is
presented.
