One of the best type of antennas used for VLF through medium wave RadioScience Observing is the small loop antenna. This chapter shows you the basics of the small loop and how to build them. Meteor Detection by Radio. When meteors streak through the upper atmosphere they leave an ionized trail behind them that can reflect radio signals. These signals can be used not only for meteor detection, but also for interesting propagation studies.
Radio antennas are the heart and soul of a good reception system.
This chapter discusses the fundamental theory of radio antennas. Radio Antenna Examples. The subject of radio antennas is rich with practical examples of actual antennas that you can build. This chapter shows you how to build antennas that are useful for RadioScience Observing. Using a Geiger Counter to Detect Solar Flares.
