Question 586

How can the output voltage of a multiple-turn receiving loop antenna be increased?

  1. By reducing the permeability of the loop shield
  2. By utilizing high impedance wire for the coupling loop
  3. By increasing the number of turns and/or the area enclosed by the loopCorrect answer
  4. All these choices are correct

Explanation

The voltage induced in a loop is proportional to the number of turns and to the area they enclose, because both increase the magnetic flux linking the winding. Adding turns or enlarging the loop therefore raises the output voltage.
