Magnetic loop antennas

MLAs are now being used not only in short-wave bands but also in VHF and UHF bands.

The controversial success of MLAs is surprising as the new MLAs are quite costly commercial products on antenna market. We will try to explain the advantage and application preference for each model separately.
