WI-FI antenna (Constructions)
WI-FI band (2.45 GHz) is not so far from 2.3 GHz what is a
radioamateur band 13 cm. An idea of G6KSN was the base
how to build own WI-FI antenna.
I have compared three WI-FI antennas: original from AP, home
made DL7KM (twin quad) and 10-element yagi loop. The last is
the best. It's not a problem to copy signal from AP in distance
4.5 km!
The building is relative easy (easier than it looks). Things
needed: PCB, N-type connector, piece of thin 50 ohm coax,
some Cu wire with 1,5 mm diameter, Cu tube 8 – 12 mm, knife,
soldering iron, etc.
An inspiration for building this antenna is an article
http://www.paramowifix.net/antenas/loop_uda_yagi/. This looks a little bit too long. I choose smaller
version with 10 elements. Total lenght of mine antenna does not exceed 30 cm.
Here is an output from programm:

Reflector was made from a piece of PCB. Diameter of the
ring is near the same like diameter od CD. Drill a hole for
N-type connector. With a soldering iron connect to the
reflector boom (Cu tube).
Make the marks on tube in the element positions. Elements
are made from Cu wire. Each ring was made so: cut an exact
length of Cu wire for element (for example 135 mm). Wind it
on a tube with a little bit smaller diameter how the ring should
have.

Hold the elements in a position and connect them to the boom with a soldering iron. The driven element is
cutted in the half. There is connected a piece of coaxial cable (RG-58, semirigit, etc.). The other end is going
to the N-type connector. Leads should be short as possible!

A program Loop Yagi CALC You could obtain .: HERE :.. Antenna was sucesfully tested and used on WI-FI
band. But there is a premise that it should work good also on radioamateur bands. Be careful with a
polarizations of signal, especially on WI-FI (horizontal, vertical, mix). Setting-up for best signal needs few
minutes.
