What is the use of loading coil?(a) Correcting resonance to a desired frequency(b) Increasing the antenna gain(c) Sideband suppression(d) Increasing the range of the antennaI got this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.I need to ask this question from Types of Antenna topic in chapter Antennas and Wave Propagation of Avionics

Answer»

Right answer is (a) Correcting resonance to a desired frequency

To explain I would say: When a VERTICAL antenna is made less than one-quarter wavelength, the practical effect is a decreased inductance. The antenna no LONGER resonates at the desired operating frequency, but at a HIGHER frequency. To compensate for this, a series inductor, called a loading coil, is connected in series with the antenna coil. The loading coil BRINGS the antenna BACK into resonance at the desired frequency.
