Biquad Antenna

[rob 6]

hi admin, this is my first posting on your fine forum.

Could the sma connector be soldered into the tube and fed with rg402 semi rigid coax ,instead of crimping and the 1.8 cu wire.

cheers.

,,,hi buddy,

I do not think it would be a good solution," to think about it...!!!

[rob 6]

many thanks for the quick reply.

I guess its also unwise to use brass instead of copper ?

cheers.

[Admin 2545]

brass or copper , both are good...!!!

[Admin 2545]

"Yes, here's a solution...

[rob 6]

Thank you.

I've built this one in the past (Marty Bugs) website I believe. 

The only thing I don't like about this design is the heavy LMR400 coax feed.

I prefer to use rg402 type coax.

I have my biquad antennas mounted on a mast outdoors - I soldered a 100mm length of 15mm Di, cu tube to the rear of the reflector, as a mounting point to a mast, will this approach upset the antenna gain?

Cheers. 

[Admin 2545]

Ok, it does not matter the type of coaxial cable, but the inside diameter of the pipe must can be pressed on the coaxial cable

[rob 6]

Will this mean purchasing a crimping tool?

 

[Admin 2545]

yes

Thanks,  I've built hf and vhf antennas but im finding ghz frequencies a whole new ball game and a steeper learning curve. 

Cheers.

With this biquad form, you can get a bandwidth increase...

Dimensions are given on the axis of symmetry of the Cu Wire

hello.. 

i've built omnidirectional quad antenna in cst. according from a journal, if we add a reflector about 1/4 Lamda from the center of the structure we got higher gain..

but in my simulation, i got smaller gain. i dont understand, i think i wrong on coaxial probe. please help me hehehe.. thank you very much

Hi buddy,

I like your achievement, but you must to know that the gain of a cp cross biquad is negative, that is it is less than a single dipole because of the power split to feed two antenna elements from the same source,by cross-polarization, you lose about 6 dBi.

Okay , I tried this solution without the results being spoken on the internet

,,,try this option too...

Hi admin,can i use this on 5200 Mhz frakens?

[garry 36]

Buddy, these antenna parameters are calculated for 2442 MHz frequency, for 5200 MHz they do not fit.

,,,no,

if you want for the 5.2 GHz frequency ,tell me...?!

Hi admin,i resize the dimension and got vswr 1.003 on 5.2Ghz in CST.i like this biquad design so much. thanks.

okay buddy, I'm glad that you work with the CST...!!!

Please, post your results, here in the forum...!!!

biquad with balun

Hi, is this model available, but with a double bi quad element? I would really appreciate a .cst file!

 

[Admin 2545]

 ,,,coto, if you know cst, why do not you try this option...!!??

I know a bit of CST but I'm not experienced enough to create this model unfortunately...  

[Admin 2545]

,,,okay,I will try to do a cst modeling for you...!!!

[zadorTheax 1]

I would err on the side of caution, measure from the bottom most part of the upper antenna to the upper most part of the lower antenna.

The reflector and metallic structure of one antenna can have a detuning effect on not only the active elements but the tuned reflector and director elements of the neighboring antenna.

Hi 

can you please share model coto detail

and do you have this model ?
