PATTERNS, POLARIZATION AND LOCATION

This loop antenna can be mounted to provide either vertical or horizontal polarization. To mount this
antenna for vertical polarization the loop should be mounted standing up. To mount the loop for
horizontal polarization the loop should be mounted so it lays flat.
Figure 1
The radiation pattern of a small loop
antenna is essentially omni-directional with
the exception of two very narrow nulls in
the axis of the loop. If you visualize the
loop as a "wheel", the nulls are in the same
directions that the "wheel's axle" would run.
