Default Antenna Simulation in LTspice

For a loop antenna with a secondary, there is voltage across the
antenna
winding and current through it. Which is the secondary responding to?



Since you can't have a current thorough the antenna without a voltage
the answer is both, It is a chicken and an egg situation tied together
by Ohm's Law.


That said, low impedances look like constant voltage sources or shorts,
and carry a lot of current, while high impedances look like constant
current sources or opens, and develop a lot of voltage. It's plenty of an
approximation, but when you call an SWR 1.2 a good match, it doesn't
take much in either direction to produce that.

This is relative to system impedance (50 ohms, say), or if not in a system
with characteristic impedances, then some factor of Zo (377 ohms). At
"lumped constant" frequencies, Zo and SWR and stuff aren't all that
relevant anymore, but the concepts always apply.
