Wow, super! You managed to simplify into a clean excel sheet! Thanks!
-
Mmm, very interesting, I have not seen these antennae since the German Olympics. 👍
-
Though this style has been around longer my near 50 years on the planet, the MegawattKS channel already made this antenna and proved the design over 8 months ago. It’s all been before…. Yours is an elegant variant though. Nice video, thanks.
-
Thanks for a video 👌
-
Curious, if you 3D printed this design and sprayed with graphite paint (and potentially even electroplated with another metal if desired) would it be nearly equivalent to a CNC milled part?
-
Nicely done! Subscribed! Can you add a reflector to increase gain? What is the gain of this antenna usually? Can you put these in an endfire configuration?
-
I tried version 4_1 of your spreadsheet for a 2.44 GHz plate waveguide loop with d=0.8 mm. Alles ist in Ordnung, außer the d/D at 0.26807 has a red background. Was bedeutet das?
-
The most significant digits of the frequencies in the S11 plot for the 2.45 GHz antenna are clipped, so I ask: what sort of 3 dB bandwidth can one expect?
-
soo uhh, what sorta diameter wouldi need for the80m band or 40m, lol Edit as the width and size would be huge lol. But the 144 2m band would be interesting vs a dipole or hourglass antenna
-
what is the lowest frequency, can you do something at 10m?
-
Is there a calculator online I can use to design this antenna? I cannot find it.
-
Hi @electronics.unmessed Great project! I have a nanoVNA and a 3D printer. I would like to experiment with this design. Having trouble understanding where to find the Excel Solver part. Thanks
