Homemade YAGI Antenna for 4G LTE modem. (Speed test included)

[@oaberaldo]

Thanks for tips. In my country LTE 4G is allocated at 2600Mhz usually. I'll try to build a yagi for 2600Mhz based in your video. I'll tell you the results briefly. Best regards.

[@dheerojkumarkoiri3342]

can you make a quick video on how you designed the folded dipole diagram on paper with the yagi calculator values? I am new to this so plz help me

[@kenoticia]

What were the measurements of your dipole? To know which one is mine because I'm not sure.

[@abtin1373]

goodjob dude but you should have set your yagi axis to 45 degree from horizontal line and if you are using mimo router you should use two antennas which are 90 degrees from each other

Whether we can solder that directors and reflector

[@AmateursDIY]

You can solder or make it insulated from the boom.

[@НАСТОЯЩИЙЧЕЛОВЕК-ю8е]

Tell me please, about direction of this antenna for 4g AND 2g. Will be the same direction or different? What Will be the difference of Internet speed if you direct the antenna minus 90 degrees AND vertically to Base station 4g?

[@AmateursDIY]

Are you refering to polarization ? I have no idea about 4g and 2g polarization. But it could be same angle? My router only work in 4g band. So no idea about 2g.🤔 I had most speed at this direction. Minus 90 degrees to this direction didn't had this much of speed.

[@AmateursDIY]

If you want to improve your indoor mobile signal then you should add another omnidirectional antenna to other end of yagi as a repeater. But can't promise better signal reception fot your mobile phone. There are commercial signal repeaters with amplifier. Not sure using without a amplifier you can get good reception.

You can get almost 30mbps or more than that. But if you use longer antenna wire like 15-20meter speed may get low. Also depends on signal directly coming from tower or reflected from somewhere else. Can't say anything sure better try it. Or you can make a biquad antenna. That is much easier than this. Watch my other video.

Hi, thanks for making these videos. Liked and subscribed. I have a few question. Can you help please? 1) I don't have a 4g modem, so can't connect it my mobile directly. Instead can I use ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/kITOZ5KjhNqVq6s ) this type for mobiles? 2) My ISP gives better speed at Band 3. So should I set it to 1800 mhz? Or 1700 mhz like wiki link. (Lowest as you mentioned). 3) How does non metal boom perform? I am asking because I don't own a drill.

[@AmateursDIY]

Thanks 1) It is a basic signal repeater. It should work. But i have no idea how to find correct dimensions for that repeater antenna. I also had the same problem. Some people say to use yagi antenna as outside antenna and some omnidirectional antenna (usually whip antenna or you can use biquad antenna) as indoor unit. But commercial repeaters have amplifier between these two. You can search them in aliexpress. But they are expensive. I saw on instructable.com some people made this without amplifier. 2) I think you should use 1700mhz. Because FDD bands use two frequencies to transmit. 3)I have no experience in non metal boom. Software developer mentioned in manual that non metal boom also has to work perfectly. I don't think there is a huge difference. I you are getting reflected signal like mine you can try Biquad antenna. I also posted a video on that antenna. But it has lower gain compared to yagi antenna. If you are getting signal directly from tower without bouncing off from any other surfaces yagi antenna definitely work for you. Sorry about my poor english. 😬
