Variables Used
Quality Factor - The Quality factor is defined as the quotient between the power stored in the reactive field and the radiated power.
Inductive Reactance - (Measured in Ohm) - The Inductive reactance is defined as inductive reactance is the opposition offered by the inductor in an AC circuit to the flow of ac current. It is represented by (XL) and measured in ohms (Ω).
Loss Resistance - (Measured in Ohm) - The Loss resistance is the ohmic resistance of the huge ground system and loading coil, the efficiency of a more than 80% of the transmitter power is lost in the ground resistance.
Radiation Resistance of Small Loop - (Measured in Ohm) - The Radiation resistance of small loop is that part of an antenna's feed point electrical resistance that is caused by the emission of radio waves from the antenna.

What is the Significance of Quality Factor in small loop?

A good resonant circuit, like a well constructed small loop antenna, will have a reasonably high Q. The high Q will give a "boost" at the received target frequency. This results in quiet reception because signals and noise outside of the selected frequency do not get augmented. But a high Q comes at the price of a narrow bandwidth. Some means of tuning becomes a necessity.

What are the Effects of Q factor?

If the Q becomes too high the bandwidth can become so narrow as to be unuseable (less than a few kilo-hertz).A high Q also means that the resonant circuit will generate very high voltages across the tuning capacitor. Even relatively low power levels (less than 100 watts) can and will produce voltages in the thousands. Higher power levels will produce high currents and voltages in the tens of thousands.
