Next Evolution In Off Grid Long Haul Two Way Radio.

POC radios have been around for a few years now. They work as long as there is a cell tower within range. Take it into the back country and that’s where it fails. PocLink just released a new version & it works off Starlink or Cellular.

Antenna Modeling for Beginners – Vertical Delta Loop (Part 6)

Post author By admin
Post date March 30, 2026

Antenna Modeling for Beginners - Vertical Delta Loop (Part 6)

In this episode we take the delta loop from Part 5 and convert it into a vertically polarised delta loop. Using MMANA-GAL, we build and model a simple mono-band loop and explore how its radiation pattern compares to a vertical antenna.

In this video we:

• Convert a horizontal loop into a vertical loop
• Position the feedpoint for ~100Ω impedance
• Model a quarter-wave matching section (75Ω)
• Use wire scaling to tune the antenna
• Compare low-angle performance (5° take-off)
• Observe the bi-directional radiation pattern

You’ll also see how a vertical delta loop can behave a bit like a broadside array, producing useful gain in two directions.

This is a simple, practical example of how antenna shape and feedpoint position directly affect performance.

In the next episode we’ll move on to modelling an End-Fed Half-Wave (EFHW) antenna.

Software used

MMANA-GAL (Basic version)
