Abstract :
Using a quasistatic approach, the input impedance of a circular wire loop is calculated for the case where the Earth is represented as a homogeneous conducting halfspace. It is shown that the input resistance is only proportional to the ground conductivity when the loop radius is small compared with the electrical skin depth.
