Stacking 4 ATMOS Antennas

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

Interesting post in zero wireless forum about stacking four atmos antennas.

The result looks very bizarre really :

Biquad Yagi 2.4Ghz Antenna

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

At las time a lot of hits came from a Poland there are some good wifi forums but I cant find online translator :(

Here one interesting antenna from diy.wifi-live.pl

This is some strange Biquad and Yagi hybrid.

Dimensions :

/odległości:

deflektor- 36
/19
quad- 34
/17
direktor1 33

There are no results or testing for this antenna.

Dual-Band 2,4Ghz / 5Ghz Omni WIFI Antenna

Here is the scans of inside - very thin pcb board is used.

Some time ago I needed some 5ghz antennas - this is the first thing that I bought.

Dual-band 11a/g 7/5dBi Indoor Omni Antenna from trendnet.

The papers says :

Frequency Range 802.11a: 4.9 ~ 5.875GHz
802.11b/g: 2.4 ~ 2.5GHz
Gain 802.11a:7dBi
802.11b/g:5dBi
VSWR 2.0:1
Polarization Linear, vertical
HPBW/ Horizontal 360°
HPBW/ Vertical 802.11a:25° 802.11b/g: 35°

The stupid thing is that on the site specification and in pdf data sheets was said that this antenna have VERTICAL polarization, but now I can see that omnidirectional pattern came whit horizontal polarization!

This may be the reason why I am not happy whit this wifi antenna and it is still laying on my desk.
I will test it again when I have some time.

The other small wifi antenna that I have from trendnet is working great - I have small 5ghz link whit it - these days maybe will scan ti too.

2.4Ghz Yagi Antenna for WIFI - using single sided PCB board

Friday, October 5th, 2007

I don’t like Yagi antennas /sorry/, and I never try to make one , but this look interesting - it is only one side pcb design that differ from the most dual sided similar.

On the side is said that this antenna is a clone to a commercial one, but not a name or model is mentioned.

The dual sided board is needed to make the feeding point of the yagi antenna - here we have something very interesting and different to be able to make all needed parts on one sided PCB board. In fact this is dipole.

Link to the page : http://www.aribg.it/Tech/WiFi/Yagy24ydm/yagi24ghz.htm

Here is schematic :

Here some pictures whit dimensions :

On the second picture You can see haw to assemble the dipole - this is the interesting part. This antenna is feeded by dipole not whit loop like most Yagi antennas. Here they make a balun whit the stripped coax and the pcb board.

There is also one aluminum disk used to hold the board that is used as reflector :

On the site is said that this antenna have 11.5dB gain. And for last there is a SWR test for this antenna pretty good results I thing :

The peek is little out of wifi band but we still may get very good results for wlan applications.
