Hi everyone,

Just doing a project for uni and have created a loop antenna on HFSS. I'm not at a stage to impedance match the antenna and am using a smith chart software. I obtained a impedance from HFSS something around (2 - 200j)ohms and am wondering when I impedance match to a 50 ohm terminator is this the load impedance or source impedance. I am trying to use the antenna as a receiver only.

Any insight would be much appreciated,

Thanks
 

It does not matter whether u treat your loop antenna as the source or the load with respect to the impedance matching task, though your loop antenna looks more like the source since it is used as the receiving antenna.
