K-Antenna

[Admin 2421]

 

Proposed kantenna is dual band

The cylinder  and conical portion of the can may consist of metal-coated .

Although some designs are based on a Pringles potato chips can, this tube is too narrow to increase the 2.4 GHz signal by a useful amount, although at 5 GHz it would be about the right size.

However, a cantenna can be made from various cans or tubes of an appropriate diameter. Some designs include a pole mount to elevate the cantenna.

At 2.4 GHz and 5,5 GHz, losses can occur if the cable from the cantenna to the Wi-Fi circuitry is too long. A more efficient kantenna can be made by minimising this length or connecting the cantenna directly to the Wi-Fi circuitry.

,,,what do you think...??/
,,,, this Cantenna  works...???

It's just a N-connector feeder probe in a 75mm PVC pipe, with a disc-rod director array.

I see no reflector or ground in that drawing, I call shenanigans.

,,, anyway, but this antenna is not well sized and has a small gain....

The lack of REFLECTOR and WAVEGUIDE make it a quarter wave Yagi , Probe fed (never seen)

,,, but this works ... ??? (helix in the can)

Yes, that's how it works....

,,, after an idea of mcNeil...
