5g Mimo Antenna

[@justforfun4103]

It's been a while. I always enjoy your videos and the knowledge, information, and ideas you share.

[@TheElectronicDilettante]

Nice build! Glad to see you back with a new release. The antenna channels available on YT are quickly becoming fewer and further between. A question I’ve been wanting to ask pertains to your test bench. Is your analyzer Scalar? I ask because I have been seeing a number of HP Scalar Network Analyzers with ranges into the 60ghz for next to nothing. And they are in great condition. There are a few videos around on the differences between Scalar and Vector N.A. If in all your free time you might record some thoughts on the topic, a lot of us will be greatly appreciated. I thought you had before but I looked in past videos and didn’t find it. Thanks for the great video. If ever you’ve the time, I know myself and a few other viewers would appreciate the opportunity to pick your brain during a live stream. Something to consider. Glad to see you’re still with us.

What a beautiful antenna. Great craftsmanship! 👍👍👍

[@charlien66]

Will we be seeing this antenna on eBay for those who are hopeless at DIY. If so you have at least one customer.

[@mrvolcada5355]

Hi there, thank you for the very elegant design. @ 3.40 you mention a simple aluminium jig to align the 37mm vertical tubes prior to soldering. you state that the jig is made with "5mm". Is that correct? Again many thanks. May I also ask the height of the elements?

[@atntaltd]

great one andrew do thickness of brass play any role in quality or range drastically ?

[@andrewmcneil]

If you use thicker brass say 3mm on the reflector you would get a better front to back ratio (0.5 db)

[@atntaltd]

@@andrewmcneil that was quick thank you very much indeed

[@bigdeadlykicksandkickflips]

@@andrewmcneil good to know

[@aarondsouza9707]

Amazing!!! just a few questions 1) it is feasible to add more directors? 2) does the size of the reflector have to be 130mm or could be more? 3) What's the average swr for this antenna unfortuantely my VNA doesn't analyse above 1.5ghz so it's a bummer 4) Would there be any noticeable gains in increasing the thickness of the material say 2-3mm for all elements. Thanks in advance.

This antenna is calll Katherin antenna

[@sebek23b]

This is amazing, you hit all the sweet spots.

[@armstrongskyview2810]

Hi Andrew, it would be fantastic if you could do a video on filters. Addressing how to filter out noise with and without amps such that you have looked at before. I used to develop Drones for my old company here in Singapore using the 433mhz freq for controlling and tellemitry and I used a 2.4ghz frequency for the video and control of other drones due to regulations with a 10watt amp and a directional biquod antenna. So Addressing filtering out additional noice is very important while having a powerful yet compact mobile set up. Thanks as always Chris

[@armstrongskyview2810]

As you used the blowtorch to heat the metal I noticed the base plate was not flat. Will this effect the frequency being that the square plate seemed warped?

[@viperjaya5303]

sir, i have designed an omni antenna at 900MHz having the length of 1500mm and the diameter is 6mm, now i want to connect with RJ58 cable, how can i connect sir? i have tried the direct wire soldering to the bottom of the rod but it didn't sticked. please help me sir, thanks in advance

[@whathappenedtonight]

Sorry to ask here. What if we want to build a GSM amplifier antenna? In order not to connect antennas to any device specifically. Thanks.

[@rydjaradat]

very nice design , and excellent performance.. :👍, Can this be modified for n78 5g band ?

[@curlazz]

love you'r videos since ever. made myself some of you'r designs. could you design a high gain omni antenna for 915mhz LoRa ??

[@ercreation1238]

Brass or copper is better for capturing mobile signals ?

[@orkunmebe4978]

İyi günler, ben Türkiye'den sizi severek izliyorum yaptığınız çalışmalar mükemmel. Bende hevesliyim anten yapmak için. Sizi izliyerek 3 anten yaptım elim yatkın bu işler için. Şunu sormak istiyorum 4.5g. 900mhz -1800mhz bu antenle çalışırmı.

[@mattparker9726]

I have to build one of these and put it in my tree in my front yard. It's 150' up. What do I need to do to reduce signal loss? Or is there no way something like this will work to be fed into my house as a repeater?

[@luc5543]

Get an outdoor 5G router such as Huawei CPE Win or ZTE MC7010, there'll be no signal loss since there is no coax. At these frequencies signal can bounce off walls etc and the usual "height is might" might not necessarily apply.

[@michaelstraughn3465]

What is the diameter of the hole in the center of the 72mm disc?

[@michaelstraughn3465]

Could you use copper instead of brass?

[@shamrock1961]

What do I do with it once I build it? (Asking for a friend)

[@burhanhariri8470]

لقد جربت عدة تصاميم لكنها لم تنفع ربما تختلف من بلد الى آخر لقد صنعت انتينا بسيطة جدا وقد نجحت فأحببت ان ارسل لك التصميم لتلقي عليه نظرة وتعدل عليه لكني لا اعرف كيف استطيع ان ارسله لك

[@bigdeadlykicksandkickflips]

is it better if i used copper?

[@andrewmcneil]

Copper is a slightly better conductor than brass but you will not notice any difference in the real world. You can use copper I just like working with brass.

[@tariqalhilali3047]

Is it possible to use the 4G frequency?

[@musicislife4982]

Hope to see this build in actual test..or in field test..

[@bradthelad3000]

Does anyone know is there such a thing as a fractal (flat) antenna for 5g LTE..I would love to have a series of flat antennas on the inside of my top floor window to suck in mobile internet. Appreciate any thoughts. I only ask about fractal antenna as its flat and would be easily mounted on a window pane..thx

[@urgtuiop5455]

This would look nice in a clear box with some blue led lighting.

[@ministeriomundialliberando8403]

I'm very grateful to Andrew Mcneil, his videos have helped me a lot repect to wifi antennas and its modifications.

[@testports3216]

How much gain can be made?

[@andrewmcneil]

Theoretically around 5db but it is only an estimate that’s why I did not include it

[@testports3216]

@@andrewmcneil how do you estimate gain of antenna practically ?🤔

[@andrewmcneil]

too complicated for me. I'm sticking to wifi antennas.

[@Friendroid]

This is an antenna I have no need for since i had my covid boosters.

[@ww4102]

But they are overrated, I only get around 5db gain and I had 3 boosters already.

hello Andrew, good evening Indonesian time. I have subscribed and liked all your videos on KZbin. Sorry, can you make and review Antena WajanBolic E-Goen 2.4 GHz Thank You.

Can you comment on this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKG2nJ2IgKyrr8U - Mobile signal booster homemade DIY for off-grid house Internet without electricity - Programmer Offgrid. She turns a length of coaxial antenna into a path for transmission and receiving. I'd be interested in hearing your comments on the physics of this design, how one might improve it and anything else you might have to say on the matter.
