Default Re: Radiation resistance and gain of ferrite antenna

Example of a mismatch with 8MHz: note the Q and radiation resistance. Q goes up!

Antenna efficiency: 33% (-4.9 dB below 100%)
Antenna bandwidth: 17.0 kHz
Tuning Capacitance: 121 pF

Capacitor voltage: 880 volts RMS
Resonant circulating current: 5.35 A
Radiation resistance: 0.057 ohms
Loss Resistance: 0.117 ohms

Inductance: 3.27 microhenrys
Inductive Reactance: 164 ohms


Quality Factor (Q): 471
Distributed capacity: 13 pF

Antenna "circumference": 5 meters

Suppose reciprocity applies to this calculator for receivers, i shall be tempted to make one for SW radios
