5,5 GHz Circularly Polarized FPV Antenna

[Admin 2578]

It was interesting to design a small and lightweight antenna from available materials for FPV.
After looking at what is available in household stores, I decided to stop at zinc/brass for the antenna elements and a canister cover as a radom.
And so everything is in order - as it seemed to me, a lid from paint cans / mounting foam / air fresheners is perfect for radom. Its diameter is 77 mm external and 84 mm internal. Height from 12 to 40 mm. Material-polypropylene.
Based on this, the dimensions of the entire structure were selected.
you will need brass / galvanized 0.25 mm thick, brass tube diameter 4 mm external (wall thickness 0.25 mm), screw m3 -40 mm. cap nut m3, SMA connector, pipe cutter, metal scissors, drills with a diameter of 1.4 and 3 mm.
The reflector is made of sardine cans.
General view of the structure and results:

It seems to me that I saw and read it somewhere? ...

,,,or modeled and wrote a description for this))))
