Mechanical assembly
Specialised equipment was used to correctly shape the aluminium tubular
elements to guarantee the structural integrity of the LOOP ANTENNA.
T.I.G. (Tungsten Inert Gas) was used to ensure optimal
contact and strength.
The only movable section in the loop is at the bottom.
The specially-shaped blade, made of stainless steel, is
anchored on each semi-loop with three stainless bolts
and anti-oxide paste is applied in the contact point.
The robust mast clamp is made from stainless steel and
support a pole from ø 50 to 60mm
(2.0in – 2.3in).
The MIDI LOOP is built in four sections and to ensure contact between these
sections, precision grooved flanges are used.

To achieve the S.W.R. diagram shown in the technical specifications, we highly
recommend installing the LOOP ANTENNA as follows:
leave at least 2 metres (6.56ft) all around
minimum and maximum height, from ground (or reflective surface) to the base
of the antenna, are:
