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
Просмотров 3,7 тыс.6 месяцев назад
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...

    Andrew, love your videos. You are very knowledgeable on the subject of antennas. I noticed on my dji phantom 3 advanced controller that the panel antenna measures 52 ohms but the omni measures open.. i saw your yagi design and noticed that the coax shield was on one side of the loop and the center conductor was attached to the other side of the loop creating a short. Wouldn't this burn up the transmitter output? I haven't seen impedance or open resistance and the effects on transmitters explained anywhere on RUclips. Could you help us out? Thanks
