            Abstract : 
Generally, the standard field method is widely employed in the loop antenna calibration at many national metrology institutes and calibration service laboratories. On the other hand, a calibration method is necessary to be traceable to the standard of magnetic antenna factor. In this study, we propose a reference antenna method for circular loop antennas in the low-frequency bands.
