- Open magnetic path through air
- No coilformer or magnetic core material → Reduced number of parts
- Low Q factor → Wide frequency bandwidth
- Directionality → omni- or bidirectional
Description
How it behaves
- The magnetic field of an air coil antenna has an omnidirectional* radiation pattern due to the open magnetic path around the coil. *unless circumference is equal to the specified wavelength → bidirectional
What do Air Coil Antennas aim to solve
- Wireless communication or power transfer
- Reducing number of parts → no coilformer or magnetic core material
| Inductance | 1µH - 2.5mH |
