Abstract :
Far field patterns of large circular loop antennas of circumferences up to two and one-half wavelengths were calculated using Storer´s theory for the current distribution on the antenna. To verify the theory, radiation pattern measurements were made at 3 GHz; the experimental results are in good qualitative agreement with theory.
