"Build an Amazing QFH Antenna and Unlock Long-Range Communication: Here's How!"

ADMIN stop deleting the post without a reason!!! if you have problem DM me..


In this video we take a look at #howto #build a #QFH antenna for the  @tinygs  and  @SatnogsOrgProject  #communities, this #433mhz band antenna is a custom dielectrically loaded antenna which is the reason for its size reduction. this is a wanted attribute since some opperators do not have to option to install large antenna's outside the homes.

This is the first in a series of antenna's aimed at the Satellite tracking community and will be a work in progress untill the prefect option is found.

Follow the step by step instructions in the video and be carefull! this takes some doing.

But if you do it right you may end up with an amazing and small antenna for its intended freqeuncy

Test Your Device on VNA of Your Choice

Test your antenn on VNA tester to make sure your antenna will perform as intended

Note: Calibrate your VNA for the desire frequency and when possible always try test your antenna in its final location and with final coaxial cable

Real World Testing

The QFN Antenna is a great choice for omni directional applications but it can have a very narrow band. So you need to always test the antenna in the real application to see how it performs. A good test is to compare the results again a known good antenna like the 1/4 wave ground plane antenna
