circle

Non-PRO English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng
Environmental noise outside the circle in the antenna field (before dam construction)

This is used for the title of a chart. In this case is circle not necessary?

Is Environmental noise outside the antenna field (before dam construction) all right?

Thank you for your help.

With Terry Of course, it could be that the antennas in the field are arranged in a circle but that would show up on a diagram pretty clearly, too. Antennas are often connected to work together to send more signal in a single direction without any physical movement like a rotor (think "phased array") and the dam may be interfering with transmission in that one direction.

@ Terry That's what I was thinking too, Terry — but I'd be happier with more context ;-)

Probably a literal circle I suspect that the diagram has a literal circle drawn on it...

Context Asker, we need to know a bit more about this, to know whether 'circle' is unnecessary or not.

What is the overall context of this document? How does 'dam' fit in with all this — and what sense does it have here? What does the chart actually show?

outside the "loop" in the antenna field

A loop antenna is a radio antenna consisting of a loop (or loops) of wire, tubing, ... Although a resonant loop may be in the shape of a circle...

Peer comment(s):
neutral B D Finch : Very unlikely that anyone would use the term "circle" for "loop" and your answer doesn't seem to fit the context.
