The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Loop antennas can be divided into three categories: Large loop antennas: Also called self-resonant loop antennas or full-wave loops, they have a perimeter close to one or more whole wavelengths at the operating frequency, which makes them self-resonant at that frequency.
- Large loop antennas have a two-lobe dipole like radiation pattern at their first, full-wave resonance, peaking in both directions perpendicular to the plane of the loop.
- Halo antennas: Halos are often described as shortened dipoles that have been bent into a circular loop, with the ends not quite touching.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Loop antenna article was read about 37,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 74: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
How to get Loop antenna
