Abstract
The antenna includes a Litz wire loop having a plurality of individually insulated wires braided together and a plurality of splices therein to define distributed capacitors. A magnetically coupled feed loop is provided within the electrically conductive loop, and a feed structure, such as a coaxial feed line, feeds the magnetically coupled feed loop.
