Avionics Engineering Center Wire vs. Loop Antenna Gain Theoretically, the dual-loop antenna has a 3-dB gain advantage over the wire antenna Exact gain difference depends on the antenna installation Gain = 0 dB Gain = 3 dB Note: SNR results are determined at the output of the antenna.

Avionics Engineering Center Conclusions SNR at the output of Loop (H-field) antenna is generally greater than the SNR at the output of Wire (E-field) antenna by 2-3 dB Noise distribution  Core of distribution looks Gaussian  Tail probabilities are much larger than Gaussian with an equivalent rms value (looks like 3- sigma) Data collected from both the antennas closely match in the calculated cdf of the noise
