Abstract :
The effects of large parasitic loop elements on the radiation patterns of an Alford loop above a circular ground plane are discussed. It has been found that, on properly choosing the parasitic loop parameters, it is possible to reduce the ground-plane edge-diffraction effects considerably without appreciable deterioration of the overall pattern.
