There is lot of designs in the net, but this one is interesting because it is designed to be simple and easy to reproduce or mass produce /as You can see from the pictures/.
This 5ghz feeder is coming from Greece. http://www.5ghz.gr
Here dome pictures :
Design and blueprints π
End product : tubes and feeding and connectors.
This looks like experimental builds :
Interesting is simple materials – copper tube and sheet, and connectors. Everything is soldered – no weak points in this design.
You can read about this antenna here www.g0mrf.freeserve.co.uk
Freq : 5.6Ghz Gain : 10Dbi Beamwidth : 55 deg
All building instructions are on the site.
I always wonder haw to feed waveguide or horn from the back – all the designs are feeded from side as usual Cantennas.
Now I have picture – file is pretty old but interesting.
I cannot remember from where I take the PDF file to write a link. Here it is 8602-4.pdf ,I didn’t change the name of the file.
Most interesting is that the connector is on the back – also wide band feeder is used and antenna is DC grounded – which differ from original cantenna design.
I used a lot of cantenas and this will be tested at first possible moment.
Also may be used in slotted waveguides.
