Abstract :
A fixed array of four loop aerials is described which, in conjunction with a goniometer, is equivalent to a rotating spaced-loop aerial when receiving ground wave signals. ´Experimental verification of this performance is given. The theoretical performance of this system when receiving sky wave signals is developed. Under these conditions, the system offers no advantage over the simple cross-looped aerial.
