Alford Loop Antenna

An Alford Loop Antenna is a type of radio antenna designed to receive or transmit signals efficiently over broad frequencies. It consists of a loop-shaped conductor with multiple feed points that are strategically arranged, allowing the antenna to operate over a wide range of frequencies without physically changing size. Its unique design helps reduce interference and improve signal clarity, making it especially useful for applications like shortwave listening and amateur radio. The Alford Loop's configuration enables it to balance performance and compactness, providing good reception and transmission capabilities across various frequencies.
