The noise should be well reduced as this bench will be a Faraday cage (not 100% isolated but very close). And I would say that I am a pretty lucky person, case in point I found this website.
The optimization of the transmitting antenna is my only major hurdle to getting this bench to...
Thanks for the information. I am going to set up everything I have already and see if I can get an optimal antenna into the bench. It seems as though I should be able to generate the Loran signals and have them picked up within a bench that is relatively small...say 24"X24" square. Would you agree?
The simpler approach you suggested is exactly what I am attempting. The issue I am trying to address is what I would need to use for an antenna. since the receiver I am testing is using an H-field, I believe I need additional power than my current source in order to create a strong enough field...
The reason why I said approx 120 DEG is because they are not truly 120 DEG. They are positioned relative to true north as well as the simulated location of the receiver to the Master, S1, and S2 transmitters. It is line of bearing to the real world transmitter stations in a particular chain.
The three antennas are indeed iron core. The reason for the approx 120 DEG alignments are position of the antenna and as well as time of transmission determines heading.
This might help explain what I am doing, the attached photo is from Loran.org's website. It shows a UUT centered between three antennas. I am trying to create a similar type of bench however I do not have much power to work with (they used an actual transmitter)...
Good morning,
Yes I am simulating Loran C. The transmission distance is small as I am attempting to radiate a Loran chain (inside a Faraday cage) in order to test a Loran receiver/antenna system.
Hello,
I am designing a Loran simulation tool that uses h-field propagation. I have not been able to find information on how to design the emitters I need. This is a three emitter system that need only transmit 18 to 24 inches. My available output is 1Vpp currently. Does anyone have suggestions...
