The ATL-3 Loop Antenna

All ATL-3 loop windings are centre tapped and balanced w.r.t. their amplifier/receiver chassis ground, and therefore electric field interference pick up tends to self cancel. Magnetic noise fields, e.g. televisions and the electric meter box, or electromagnetically radiated interferences, may be minimised by loop rotation. More: Where the received noise does not degrade wanted station reception, an indoor active loop can be very rewarding. Tuned winding antennas always have a potential 6dB greater signal sensitivity, and provide a better signal to noise ratio than equally sized.

The ATL-3 loop antenna design incorporates a balanced configuration for its windings, which are center-tapped to ensure that any electric field interference is effectively canceled out. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in environments where electromagnetic interference is prevalent, such as near televisions or electric meter boxes. The balanced nature of the windings minimizes the impact of external noise sources, allowing for a clearer reception of desired signals.

The antenna's design allows for the rotation of the loop, which can further mitigate the effects of magnetic noise fields. By adjusting the orientation of the loop, users can optimize the reception quality, enhancing the overall performance of the antenna in various electromagnetic environments.

The use of tuned winding antennas is emphasized, as they offer a significant advantage in terms of signal sensitivity. With a potential increase of 6 dB in sensitivity, these antennas are capable of providing a superior signal-to-noise ratio compared to similarly sized non-tuned antennas. This increased sensitivity is crucial for receiving weaker signals, making the ATL-3 loop antenna a valuable component for indoor reception setups where noise levels may otherwise hinder performance.

In conclusion, the ATL-3 loop antenna's balanced design, combined with the benefits of tuning, positions it as an effective solution for enhancing radio reception in challenging environments, ensuring that users can enjoy improved audio quality and clarity.All ATL-3 loop windings are centre tapped and balanced w.r.t. their amplifier/receiver chassis ground, and therefore electric field interference pick up tends to self cancel.
