Ricardo yeah i had a professor like that what i have found in my time is this there are people who know certain bits of information, but then there are bits they don't know. how you tell the difference is this... When one can explain something simply, it means they clearly understand it, when they stray away from their normal use of words and tend to speak quicker or use words that are more complex it usually means they don't understand the subject. a good example of this in I.T. is this.. ask a technician does he know how a hard drive works hehe he'll likely say.. he does then ask him to tell you step by step starting from the CPU, and assuming the CPU is sending data to the hard drive ask him to explain *Every single Step* that the data takes and what when this happens he'll tell you the data gets to the SATA port where the drive is connected it goes up the cable HEHEHEEHE and then something something in the middle here, that he skips over and........ hoping to god you didn't realize he then says the data is written to the hard drive platter now.. if you pull him up and say hang on... so... from the SATA Port on the back fo the hard drive, HOW EXACTLY did the data make it to the platter LOL it's funny when this happens but yeah that's how you tell if a person skips something, Purposely make a point of slowing them down you'll usually find they have gaps in their knowledge but when there are no gaps, it comes across like this guy is saying it, i pride myself on filling my gaps and it's awesome when someone like this comes along, I've been fortunate to have around 7 of them thus far that have taught me that's why i know what i know. be cool mate

Antennas fascinate me. I have made a 450. Mz Yagi that many elements. This antenna was near five feet long. I hooked to my police scanner. And pointed it toward a city that was close to 35 miles away. I received their radio transmissions perfect. I only listen to Union Pacific railroad traffic now. I made a quarter wave dipole and it receives beyond my wildest expections. The antenna is standing in my bedroom. I have a Uniden BCD536HP. The antennas, telescoping and rubber duck antennas are like having no antennas. The railroad works on two meter 161.265 Mz most of these stations are 35 to 40 moles. Keep up the great videos , I have subscribed. Curtis

Great practical explanation of antenna theory and operation. This is sufficient for most people to understand the basics. Really good explanations boil down the theory to the most essential parts without getting bogged down in the details or too many equations. It would be great to see this introduction video followed up with actual examples with a bit more theory where the numbers are plugged and secondary effects of the antenna geometry, cabling, and circuit connections are addressed.

Been a HAM since '78, and have built dozens of antennas, and even did moonbounce with an OSI 6502 controller back in the 80s, but have never heard it antenna function put so well as "more metal in the game". I sure wish somebody had said it so clearly back in my college days, but even the professors didn't cut thru the BS like you do here. Keep up the great work!

I think a lot of this video is rules of thumb for RC pilots that aren't 100% accurate. Radio waves aren't actually sine-wave-shaped in space. The reason polarization is important is not because of the area overlap. It's not *just* about having more metal, it also has to be shaped correctly.

Thanks for the refresher! I haven't heard the term 'Yagi' since my school days... The best example of Yagi antennas is the old roof-top TV antennas that were used to capture a VHF signal from your local TV station. If you were fortunate enough to have a rotor, then you could turn a dial on a set-top box and a motor would spin the TV antenna accordingly, allowing you to pick up TV stations in that direction... Thanks for posting this detailed video, and JUST SO YOU KNOW, I didn't fall asleep! ;)

When I was young the CB radio was the Fad of the day it was a perfect hobby for me. But I soon found the usual 5watt CB radio with numerous channels (different frequencies) work better on some & less on others so I became very interested in building my own dipole antennas using plastic covered metal curtain rods with three legged ground planes. I became engulfed in the technology of antennas & spent a couple of years experimenting building my own power meters, frequency counters and standing wave meters etc. It was a very interesting hobby & I learnt a great deal.

I'm not an expert but most plastics are transparent to the 5.8GHz FPV band, so the shrouds should have little effect. But what will cripple your video is rain (it absorbs GHz frequency r.f.) and close proximity to any conductive materials (wires, metal objects, carbon fiber etc). In fact this is one reason why Tx antennas are raised up and usually placed at the edges of frames.

Thanks to spread spectrum technologies your use of 2.4GHz for video isn't likely to be a problem for other fliers but their transmitters will likely stomp all over your video signal. As for 1.2GHz, it's (almost*) legal here in the UK provided you have at least a foundation ham license (easy to get, can be done in a single weekend and most 10 year old kids can do it without breaking a sweat) but that said, you're unlikely to have legal issues if no one complains. Oh and one other thing, the antenna's for 1.2GHz are quite big and in the case of circularly polarised, fragile. Definitely not something I'd want to put on a quad! *You're not supposed to transmit on the 1.2GHz band from an aircraft.

The scientific inaccuracies as mentioned in the disclaimer at the start are very few actually. This video is a fairly correct explanation of antenna behaviour.

Hi there, when I was a small boy, now an old man, I used to make my own crystal sets and I played around with bits of wire to get a signal. One wire outside, a long one, and another fastened to my metal springs on my bed. Some days, I was able to get wonderful reception and others very little. All my life, I have wanted to know why that was and now, after watching this video, I have a good idea how things work and I thank you for explaining and teaching this to me. I do not profess to understand every little detail, of your teachings, but it is wonderful that now, at long last, I know the basics and I cannot thank you enough. John.
