5g Mimo Antenna
I have been working on this for the last 8 months and needing to hit so many frequencies can be difficult. Hopefully with the help of this video and the measurements in the PDF I have shown you that constructing your own 5G antenna is posable with some basic tools and a little time.

The Waveguide Panel Antenna
Переглядів 3,5 тис.5 місяців тому
If you don’t want to make your own you can buy one here: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116038400121 In this video I will show you how to build your own small but powerful 14dBi waveguide (cantenna) with a panel antenna replacing the more common monopole. The waveguide is constructed out of 1.5mm thick aluminium giving it an impressive front to back ratio. As such more of the RF power is focused forward in...

    thanks chief. I have issue with signal strength indoor, and I wanna build a 700/1800MHz 4G+ antenna. I have already Mikrotik router with LTE class12 modem. Does the coax cable matter, please? I can squeeze about 3mm wire through out the old windows (old rented flat). I can't drill walls or window frames. I have some old 3G antenna with external antenna, and they have about 3mm coax. Any suggestions to this challenge? all standard coax cables have around 5-6mm

    I am going to build your antenna design for my 5G home router (Nokia Fastmile). I am curious if it would work just as well if I put multiple assemblies on one big back plane? I think I seen you do it with your biquad design so I am asking if you think it will also work on this design. I might do a 4 element array to capture all the diversity outputs in this router (and maybe a second one for the LTE radios). Thank you!

  • @ugpfpv361
    @ugpfpv361 Місяць тому

    Hi Andrew, I was wondering is each coil the same as if you were making a single helical as far as spacing goes, so if you measured the winding of coil 1 to coil 2 would it be around 6mm? or is the spacing between the two coils still around the 12mm from coil 1 and the next wind coil 2. So basically asking is this still the same overall length as a regular 3 turn helical or is it the length of a 6 turn? Thanks!
