We revisit the original experiment performed by Hertz in 1888 and use a simple setup to produce electromagnetic waves with a frequency in the range of 3 MHz. By doing a Fourier analysis of the signal captured by. a resonant antenna, we can study the behavior of the RLC series circuit, frequency splitting of coupled resonances, and the characteristics of the near-field emitted by the loop antenna.
