Main Characteristics The YooFab RFLEGO Active Antenna Receiving Loop Kit, once correctly built, will provide a highly sensitive HF Antenna that should operate more in the magnetic domain than it does in the electrical domain. It should be effective across the whole HF spectrum.

YooFab Antenna Loop Differential pair amplifier Notes On Simulation: Please note that in the above animated simulation, there are two 10 MΩ resistors that go to ground. These are needed by the SPICE simulation and are not needed in reality.
(with respect to ground) at the same time. Ergo, there is no difference and so nothing is amplified. YooFab Differential amplifier for loop antenna No amplified signal Remember This When Testing: We must remember the differential nature of this amplifier when testing. If we forget this and connect a signal generator to both sides of the differential amplifier, then at best nothing will appear at the output.
2. RF output - The Active Antenna Loop output uses an RCA socket. This makes the loop amplifier compatible with YooFab RFLEGO. However, you may need to use an adaptor or make your own cable if you need to connect this to type connectors.
Common Instructions for all RFLEGO kits What is an electronic kit? Generally, kits are composed of electronic components, a circuit diagram (schematic), assembly instructions and often a printed circuit board (PCB) or another type of prototyping board. YooFab Electronic Kits: Easy to build •...
5. The PCB style used is popular among RF design engineers. 6. RFLEGO is a term used to convey the modular and connective nature of an educational and functional system that is the intellectual property of YooFab™.
