Signal/noise ratio of inductive-loaded antennas
Abstract
The effect on signal/noise ratio of moving an inductive load away from the drive point of a monopole antenna is studied. The variation of this ratio with load position is determined as a function of previously derived empirical expressions for relative radiation resistance and load reactance. Small signal/noise improvements can be obtained at low sky temperatures.
