I'm building a 4 segment + whip coaxial collinear antenna for
2.441 ghz. The coax I'm using is RG58 with a VF of .66 but
I was told by some of you that the VF will vary on this antenna.
What I need to know is which way and how much should I
adjust the element lengths to compensate?
Also, I followed the instructions on this webpage to the letter:
http://wireless.gumph.org/content/4/...s-antenna.html
But instead of getting sector lengths of 40.5mm, I got 39mm
somehow. Have I created a waste of time because of that?
One last question - with HF antennas, if they are close to other
objects they sometimes need to be shortened slightly to work.
I plan on mounting these antennas on the back of my ThinkPad's
display so maybe they will work being 1.5mm short per sector?
God I love this stuff!
