A very efficient computational technique for the input susceptance of an arbitrarily large circular loop antenna is presented. The Moment Method matrix is analytically inverted, owing to its circulant property. A magnetic frill excitation is utilised to ensure a well-defined finite susceptance. Results are very accurate, although the algorithm is based on elementary mathematical concepts.
