I this video I show you how to construct a parabolic dish feed for 2.4 and 5GHz wifi. I have included the artwork for you to download to make your own. You can also use this to etch onto PCB.

Andrew, there is an interesting antenna you can easily build for these frequencies, the double rhombic antenna (or simple). Only some wires and a resistor (and maybe a balun). Can be made on a carboard and turned to desired polarization.

I love this channel, and ant theory lol. You're the type of old-school chap that knows how to make things and how they work too. Can you make an ant array? do arrays need circuits/ electronics? basically, id like to use many high dbi ants to get great range and signal strength. Thanks your friendly fellow brit overseas in Singapore :)

I was using satellite coax and f-connectors, but what sort of loss would I get as it not designed for 2.4gig Wi-Fi directional antenna, I have to say I was getting reasonable result. f-connector to sma adapter at the router end. But I thought it would be better than the cheap co-ax that they sent me with the directional antenna.

@lustrup 2 жыл бұрын
The antenna gain is in the parabolic dish gain (not the feed gain). You can NOT just add feed gain with the dish gain! The feed is for focusing the RF to iluminate the dish with minimum spillover at the edges.

In your video "2.4GHz & 5GHz Wifi Parabolic Dish Feed" you left an unexplained gap between the pigtail and the antenna ... visualizing, I assume the short coax that you soldered to the antenna and the pigtail are actually one and the same in the end product???

Hi Andrew. I am duplicating your work for hobbying purposes. Doesn't soldering the rods on the top side would give a better performance because of the larger and uninterrupted resonance cavity at the bottom? I have another question. Are we keeping the impedance of the strip at 6:47 to 50 ohm. If so, it should have been 3.4 mm wide. If not, can you help me to understand. Thank a lot man.
