The Airspy YouLoop is a passive, noise-cancelling magnetic loop receiving antenna designed for SDR users operating in noisy urban environments. Its electrically balanced loop concept helps reject electric noise, especially on the lower bands, letting you pull weak signals out of the hash.

It’s lightweight, portable, and quick to deploy, requires no tuning, and works great for indoor and portable listening. Connection is straightforward (typically SMA-based), and it pairs especially well with high-dynamic-range SDR receivers.

Important: The YouLoop is a receive-only antenna — it is not intended for transmitting.
