Poland Dipole Panel Antenna

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

18 or 19dBi – no mater for this one πŸ™‚ . Several dipoles printed on PCB board. Have more dipoles You get more dBis. Will it be 10 12 or 24 – You decide how much do You need.

This is defiantly homemade design. I have one small antenna whit only 4 dipoles – and it works great, so this antenna should work fine. Also will be easy to be rescaled for other bands – 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz only change dimension of the dipoles.

Cardboard Slotted Waveguide

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

On http://wireless.com.pt/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=3a383f0ff0f782f5a00fea2c1e20e5d9&topic=15658.0 You can find interesting antenna projct cardboard slotted waveguide.

Aluminium foil and cardboard is used to build slotted waveguide wifi antenna.

Here some pictures :

Last picture is 11Ghz and 2.4Ghz versions compared.

Waveguide is tested and the resuts are very good – more than 14dbi are reached!

This is a good way to fast build and test antennas, also quick modifications are possable.

The bad thing is that You can not solder aluminium – which for this antenna is not a problem.

The author of this post call this “40cents antenna” and he has several different types of antennas builded and tested.
