ATL-3 Loop Antenna

This antenna is the result of long term development and user feedback. 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. 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 broadband designs; thus a much larger broadband loop area becomes necessary to better the performance of the stand.

The ATL-3 antenna is designed as a loop antenna, which features a unique configuration of windings that are center-tapped. This design choice ensures that the antenna remains balanced concerning its amplifier or receiver chassis ground, effectively minimizing the impact of electric field interference. The self-cancellation of interference is a critical advantage, as it enhances the antenna's performance in environments with various electromagnetic disturbances.

In terms of construction, the ATL-3 utilizes tuned winding technology, which is known to enhance signal sensitivity significantly. The potential for a 6dB increase in signal sensitivity compared to broadband designs is a noteworthy feature, making it an excellent choice for users seeking improved reception quality. The tuned winding configuration allows the antenna to achieve a superior signal-to-noise ratio, which is essential for clear audio and video reception, particularly in urban settings where noise levels can be high.

To mitigate the effects of magnetic noise fields, such as those generated by nearby televisions or electric meter boxes, the antenna's design allows for loop rotation. This feature enables users to adjust the orientation of the loop, thereby optimizing reception by aligning the antenna with the desired signal while minimizing interference from unwanted sources.

The ATL-3 is particularly effective in indoor environments, where active loop antennas can provide significant benefits. In cases where the noise level does not interfere with the reception of the desired station, users can experience enhanced performance, making the indoor active loop a rewarding option.

Overall, the ATL-3 loop antenna stands out for its innovative design and performance characteristics, making it suitable for a variety of applications where high-quality reception is required.This antenna is the result of long term development and user feedback.
