Re: Seperate Receive Antenna

The LZ1AQ amplifier is NOT a differential input amp, rather it is referenced to ground.

This can have significant issues as it relates to common mode noise.

As a result of my research, I ended up with a Pixel loop. The amp has great characteristics, differential input, uses an A.C. wallwart for low noise, and the install instructions isolate the amp from any ground.

The loop interface also has a control line input from your rig, that controls an internal relay, so the amp is protected when you transmit. The loop was designed by hams.

The mechanical design of the loop is excellent, using welds at the aluminum joints.

I have no interest in the Pixel company, just a very satisfied customer. So satisfied, I bought two of them and phase them with a DX Engineering NCC-1 phaser.

Hi Paul,

I can recommend LZ1AQ´s active loop antenna.
See

http://active-antenna.eu/

It offers a nice variety of antenna configuration options, and it plays very well here as a separate RX antenna at my urban & noisy QTH. The unit is of high quality, and very well documented.
I am using it with my KX3 and a homebrew switchbox which uses reed relays for QSK switching, controlled by the KX3 PTT output taken from the ACC2 jack.

73,

What configuration did you use on your lz1aq loop?

Re: Seperate Receive Antenna

Jim

How did you determine that the LZ1AQ amplifier is not a differential amp?
the diagrams lead me to believe that it has differential inputs. Page 29
shows the specification item 10 which states that the inputs are balanced.
What am I missing, where should I be looking?

Re: Seperate Receive Antenna

There was a schematic published by LZ1AQ that showed the implementation of a loop required that one of the inputs of the amp was referenced to ground.

Re: Seperate Receive Antenna

Thanks, Jim, that's opened out the discussion very well for me. I am not
able to determine how bad this makes the performance, since the output is
floating and I think hardly susceptible to common mode problems. I'm in the
market for such antennas but most are outside my budget. I would like to
have 2 loops (could be large loops) a half wavelength apart for diversity
reception on 160 and this system with its delay line might do that
economically. 2 amplified receive aerials (eg from CCW here in UK) with a
phasing box would also be economical. The next on my list is the shared
apex.

thanks again for the link

Bandwidth of the loop vs. noise is a myth. The only reasons a narrow loop
bandwidth, or any antenna or amplifier bandwidth, would ever reduce noise or
interference are when at least one of two conditions are met:

1.) The receiver IF filter is wider than bandwidth of the pre-receiver
system. This helps because overall bandwidth is reduced. 1/2 bandwidth= 3dB
less noise if the signal is still narrower than the narrowest bandwidth

2.) Something in a stage in front of the receiver narrow filter is
overloading, and the system in front of the receiver is narrow enough to
reduce the unwanted signal and stop or reduce the overload

Re: Seperate Receive Antenna

David,

Not sure what ur budget is.

The amp in the Pixel is a Cliffton Labs design, using the Norton architecture. Jack of Cliffton labs cannot share info of the amp design, as he is under non-disclosure. He does sell a great amp, using the Norton structure, that has a gain ~ 50% of the gain of the Pixel amp. The Pixel amp and his for sale amp use the exact architecture. The interface to the amp is also well thought out. The amp is protected if you hook up a signal that goes low when the xmitter is keyed. It removes power from the loop.

Take a look at Dallas Lankford's page on Yahoo groups. He has done A LOT of work in the area of low noise antennas and loops with amplifiers, and has some GREAT articles on that Yahoo group page. He discusses how to use the Cliffton amp with loops with good results. I just went and bought a Pixel, as I did not want yet another project to get 75% done and then sit.

Dallas Lankford is a great resource for BCBDX and loops/low noise antennas.

Also, if you "mind the gap" and account for common mode, the LZ1AQ amp would work. Again, just take note of potential CM issues.

Jim

Re: Seperate Receive Antenna

In reply to this post by Jim Bolit

Mike,

I am using it with 2 loops, which are mounted at a 90 degree angle with
respect to eachother. This allows me to switch direction, which is most
pronounced on 160m and medium wave. The loops themselves are square rather
than round (as recommended by LZ1AQ) due to mechanical constraints,
furthermore each loop actually consists out of 2 loops in parallel to lower
the inductance. I hardly use the dipole mode, since that almost always
results in a much higher noise floor due to man made noise at my QTH.

Jim, David,

Regarding differential inputs, I concur with David that the diagrams
published on http://active-antenna.eu/amplifier-kit/technical-documentation/
suggest that the amplifier has a differential input, so not sure which
schematic you refer to Jim?

73,
