Page 5 Assembling and using your antenna Assembly: The SignaLoop model HF-319 loop antenna is designed to be ultra portable and is very quick & easy to deploy. The antenna can be used either with or without the included support which is constructed from 1/2-inch schedule 40 PVC pipe.
Page 6 To assemble PVC Antenna Support, simply line up & match the color dots which are found at mating joints on the stand. Connect the pieces together by lining up the color dots and simply push the smaller pipes into the larger couplings.
Page 7 A few usage hints Small loop antennas such as this one usually show a bi-directional radiation pattern – i.e. a figure- eight pattern with deep nulls which are perpendicular to the plane of the antenna, and maximum signal strength within the loop plane. Also, in the near field, these antennas respond primarily to the magnetic component of a given signal rather than the electrical component.
