Why does a tuned magnetic loop have such a narrow bandwidth?

  • A.Its radiation resistance is high relative to its reactance
  • B.The tuning capacitor has excessive dielectric loss
  • C.The loop radiates only at exact resonance
  • D.Its quality factor is very high because loss is small relative to stored energy

Answer: D

A high ratio of stored to dissipated energy is precisely a high quality factor, and a small efficient loop stores a great deal of energy and loses very little, so its bandwidth may be only a few kilohertz. Retuning is needed for every small frequency change, which is why remote capacitor drives are standard. Its radiation resistance is very small rather than large relative to the reactance, capacitor loss reduces the quality factor rather than raising it, and radiation occurs off resonance too, though feebly.
