Abstract

A ferrite core antenna having two spaced signal pick-up coils coupled through a transformer so that the signals from the two coils are additively combined in the primary of the transformer. A variable capacitor connected to the two coils tunes the antenna to selected frequencies. This results in amplification of the signal.
