The Airspy YouLoop is a next‑generation Noise‑Cancelling Passive Loop (NCPL) antenna engineered for listeners who demand exceptionally low noise, high linearity, and stable performance across a wide frequency range. Designed by Youssef, creator of the Airspy SDR line, the YouLoop solves the common problems found in traditional receive antennas—excessive noise pickup, overload, and poor balance—while remaining compact, portable, and completely passive.

Engineered for Low‑Noise HF Reception

At the heart of the YouLoop is a balanced multi‑turn loop with a central electric shield that cancels unwanted electric‑field noise, especially in the lower HF bands. A precision low‑loss miniature BALUN maintains perfect symmetry, ensuring the antenna stays quiet even in high‑noise indoor environments.

Versatile Performance from HF to VHF

While optimised for HF (10 kHz – 30 MHz), the YouLoop can also operate effectively in VHF by functioning as a folded dipole. This makes it suitable for:

• FM Broadcast

• Airband (118–137 MHz)

• 2m Amateur Band (144–148 MHz)

For best VHF performance, pairing the antenna with a high‑impedance preamplifier near the feed point improves matching and flattens the frequency response.

Ready‑Made Two‑Turn Version

This version of the YouLoop comes pre‑assembled using high‑quality coax and a PCB‑mounted BALUN. Setup is simple—just connect the SMA cables. For outdoor use, sealing the BALUN area and using matched coax lengths is recommended for optimal balance.
