Pa0nhc "Double Delta" 145MHz loop antenna.

A portable, very small,
less visible, light, narrow band (selective),
low power 145MHz antenna.
Horizontally polarized and really omni directional. 
(No 1/2 lambda coax phasing cable needed).

Updated 20211028.

New improved  PCB is available.


Only 16.5 cm wide.
(that is 6 times smaller than a dipole)

EN


First prototype with old PCB.

New improved  PCB is available.

Top quality 145MHz ARDF direction finding receiver.
Last update : 20211028
Most wired components, readily wound coils or self wound coils on available Neosid forms.
Optimal receiving properties :
Tuning range (adjustable) abt. 1.4 MHz.
Very sensitive (0.22 uV AM). Max input 12 mV (S9+68dB). Continues sensitivity reduction range abt. 90dB.
Very good selectivity (better than 80dB) with cheap Xtal IF filter + highQ IF coils.
Power : 9V @ 9-24 mA. Mean abt. 15 mA. Many hours operation on one 9V alkaline battery. Low battery voltage warning.
Easy soldering.
Cheap die cast ALU box. Best screening and RF-filtering.
