RSGB EMC Committee releases new leaflet
The RSGB EMC Committee has released a new leaflet explaining how to build a portable loop antenna to help radio amateurs find sources of EMF interference.
Pair it with a portable receiver, and you can walk around an area, watching for changes in signal strength to pinpoint where interference is coming from.
The antenna itself is easy to make from a short length of coaxial cable formed into a loop and a handful of coax connectors.
Despite its small size, the antenna has directional properties making it useful for locating the sources of interference.
This is Leaflet 19 in the series of leaflets produced by the Committee and is called ‘A simple loop antenna for use in identifying sources of interference’.
You can download it and all the other EMC leaflets in the series, from the RSGB website.
