Introduction to Antenna Design #2 // Monopole Antennas

[@acestudioscouk-Ace-G0ACE]

A great series which explains the topics well. Shame there weren't more episodes in this excellent collection.

The meter alone is worth $$$$. Awesome presentation and knowledge. Im impressed!

[@godfreypoon5148]

I am pretty excited about this series of videos. There's a new Photonicinduction video, and I decided to watch this first. I hope you're happy about the rift in the youtube time-space continuum you're causing.

[@ProtoG42]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jasonbrown467]

i like your approach to breaking down the information

[@6siqueira]

This was simply amazing

[@ProtoG42]

Thank you for the kind words!

Can you do antenna design videos for someone with little to no prior knowledge of electronics, video for a hobbyist who wants to design communication systems and signal boosters, thanks

Let's say i have a 4G modem inside a room quite isolated from the cell tower...does adding antenna (indoor antenna) will work? and what is the size ( length) of antenna should i use?

[@farmdve]

Just a question, but why are you rounding the speed of light? It's exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. You are essentially making the speed of light "faster".

[@ProtoG42]

The difference is negligible. For this purpose 300,000,000 is good enough for the calculation seeing how we are trimming in and should not cut it exactly to length. If I used the real value, the wavelength we got would have changed from 51.72mm to 51.69mm(2.036in to 2.035in). I can't even cut it that close.

[@novivi4390]

can't believe the masterpiece of engineering used in this video cost 22 000 Dollars ... :o

[@hasanxnv]

you explain very well. Thanks a lot :)

[@Alexelectricalengineering]

The speed of light in a vacuum is actually 299 792 458 m/s ;) Thumbs up :)

[@ProtoG42]

Lol, yes, but for this purpose 300,000,000 is good enough for the calculation seeing how we are trimming in and should not cut it exactly to length. If I used the real value, the wavelength we got would have changed from 51.72mm to 51.69mm(2.036in to 2.035in). I can't even cut it that close lol Thanks Alex!

[@Alexelectricalengineering]

Proto G I can imagine how hard it would be to cut it so precise, and 👍👍

[@StaryWymiatacz]

The most important question that no one is asking is... WHERE DID YOU GET NASA YELLOW PAPER NOTEBOOK?

[@ProtoG42]

I used to work at NASA :)

[@hebrewhammer1000]

great video! Thanks

[@ProtoG42]

Thanks!

aaaand that's a $24,000 spectrum analyzer...

[@ProtoG42]

It was a loaner. It's definitely worth renting something like that if you are ever developing a product that you want to be optimized for the application.

[@createthiscom]

I'm coming into this from the FPV drone racing hobby and I'm watching a lot of antenna design videos. They make me uncomfortable because as a software engineer I really like to test my work to ensure it's doing what I designed it to do. 24k is definitely outside my price range unless I'm doing commercial design work, which I'm not and will not ever, probably. I keep wondering: What's the next best thing for a hobbyist? How can I know how my antenna is performing on my drone beyond subjective gut feelings?

[@new_comment]

damn, that's a $20k analyzer!

[@JustPlainRob]

Did you just use V for speed of light instead of C? SACRILEGE!
