CIRO MAZZONI RADIOCOMUNICAZIONI snc

by I3 VHF

The LOOP ANTENNA was designed for amateur and professional radio operators who have limited space for their antennas, yet still want a quality antenna that meets their needs.
The LOOP ANTENNA has smaller dimensions, but has high efficiency in order to compete with the classic dipole. The antenna’s bandwidth covers more than one band within the amateur radio frequency allocations as well as enough bandwidth to support commercial, military, and civilian use.

The task of creating an antenna of a manageable size which could still perform like a full size antenna was not easy. The antenna was designed and produced by amateur radio operator, I3VHF, who dedicated his professional life to experimentation and testing in order to produce such a superior product.

The project started with an analysis of the loop antennas from the first loop ever built, designed by K.H. Patterson for the U.S. Armed Forces, to the presently marketed antennas; this analysis covers a span of about 30 and more years. After this analysis I3VHF began creating the first designs, constructions and experiments. He did this to improve the best of that time, to make a radiating instrument which became closer to the ideal small loop antenna.
