Question 585

What type of radiation pattern is created by a single-turn, terminated loop such as a pennant antenna?

  1. CardioidCorrect answer
  2. Bidirectional
  3. Omnidirectional
  4. Hyperbolic

Explanation

A pennant is a small single-turn loop with a resistor in one side. The termination makes the loop's two response mechanisms add in one direction and cancel in the opposite one, giving a cardioid with a single deep null that can be aimed at an unwanted signal or noise source.
