    no its realy directed

    true, you should use PVC/Plastic for the core of the boom.

  3. 23/10/2008

    The aluminium rod in the center kills the gain. Use a plastic boom instead or use a
    plastic tube for the coil.
    The aluminium acts like a short circuited ballast in the center of the coil. The magnetic field exists inside the wire loops, the electrical field remains outside.
    Try to measure the gain.
    You will be surprised how bad it is compared to the theoretical value for the number of turns you have got.

    Directivity and impedance my be ok, but the gain is what matters.

    GREATS ANTENA :)

    what formula did you use to find the correct bandwith,length,and to set S.w.r.? how does this antenna do at side rejection?

    OMG … you will catch the signal from the aliens with this Antenna (E.T phon home )xD

    Thanks

    The name of the music.Please.

    It looks good, but you didn’t show us that it works.

  9. 05/11/2008

    is omni there is no parabolic dish on it to make it directional

    No Its Not omnidirecional Its direcional They Are Big In the 2.4 Ghz Bands

  11. 08/11/2008

    it is omnidirecional???

  12. 10/11/2008

    wifi jedi lol

  13. 13/11/2008

    thats huge, not for wardriving then ? lol

  14. 15/11/2008

    thats pretty big for only 17dbi man. Nice antenna tho.

    I think John Kraus was the man that make the first Helical Antenna

    is very very good for receiver
    and transmitter if you have a paravolic dish

    very very good Idea for 2.4 and 5Ghz
    but you may must have helical antenna to the AP right?

    Awesome music!

    ke distancia lograste?

    please tell me the name of musik in this vid

    Without an explanation it is far from helpful. Forget it.

    It looks very beautiful - a work of art

  22. 23/11/2008

    I call anothers experts to put hear yours experiments, to tell us the tips how to build these… :) I big gun! 73!!@

  23. 23/11/2008

    this came through a “normal” Construction (see at the bottom is a Thing we call in german “Endtopf” - see also “Rothammel Antennentechnik”).

  24. 25/11/2008

    like ve2zzz said, i don’t see any impedance transformer. care to explain how you manage it?

  25. 27/11/2008

    What’s the return loss of this antenna?

    A helix requires either a 84 ohm ‘Q’ section (quarter wavelenth) mathing stub or a special construction (widened helix close to the ground plane) for the first quarter turn.
