Model of Loopstick Antenna??

[Jim Thompson]

Is the proper model of a loopstick antenna an inductance with a
voltage source in series (representing the signal)?

Or would something else be a better representation?

Hello Jim,

Whether an inductor is a reasonable model depends on what you do and
what you want. I would use at least an RLC approach (all in parallel
and a voltage source in series with the L or current source parallel
to the RLC circuit).

The reason for this is that around the resonant frequency your input
amplifier may show strange behavior (oscillation?) that you may
overlook by just using an inductor.

For modeling the frequency dependent core losses, you need a higher
order model. In most cases that is not required.

Best regards,

Add a frequency dependent resistance in series, and a capacitance in

parallel to that (at minimum)...

Depending on what you wanted to model. you could also add a large
stack of modulated sources. Consider resonant antennas, adjacent
channel interference, image rejection, and similar issues as needed.
Model what is needed for the design in question.
