Non-Foster Matching Circuit Design via Tunable Inductor for VLF Receive Loop Antennas by Yalong Yan, Chao Liu, Huaning Wu, Yinghui Dong

“…A loop antenna was matched to the designed NFC with −10 dB S11 fractional bandwidth, marking a 383% improvement as well as enhanced transducer gain (S21) compared to most bands in passive matching (over 15–30 kHz). The noise and received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the matching network were assessed to find that, with a low noise floor level (4 dB) receiver, the SNR of the passive loaded antenna performs better than the non-Foster loaded antenna in VLF.…”
