Flower Pot Antenna Gain

Here is a link to his webpage with instructions for making several of his designs. VK2ZOI gave a talk I gave at a Hornsby and Districts Amateur Radio Club HADARC meeting in early 1993 He lightheartedly showed that by placing plastic flowers over this antenna you can effectively disguise it.

Dual Band Half Wave Flower Pot Antenna Ham Radio Antenna Ham Radio Antenna

I was surprised how well it worked and a few others tried it and found it worked very well.

Flower pot antenna gain. Experimental Dual Band High Gain Flower Pot Antenna - 2m flower pot antenna center frequency 145250 mhz. This results in the antenna operating with four half-waves in phase on 70cm and provides a theoretical antenna gain of 6dBd. How to build a monoband HF Vertical Quarter Wave Ham Radio Antenna.

The Science Operation on the third harmonic is achieved by using a sleeve technique so as to form quarter wave phasing sections at the higher frequency to end feed two half waves in phase at the third harmonic. Recently at the EMDRC working bee Bob VK3AIC EMDRC Committee Member created quite some interest when he brought in his latest project. Flower pot antenna Welcome to WIFI Antennas Register now to gain access to all of our features.

The VK2ZOI high gain dual-band Flowerpot Antenna. The flower pot antenna IS a half wave dipole and is center fed just as the 12 wave dipole shown in the video. The VK2ZOI Flower Pot Antenna.

To construct the antenna first select a suitable length of grey 25mm conduit as a minimum 1m but if you make it longer you will have more room below the coil to attach to your antenna. Experimental Dual Band High Gain Flower Pot Antenna An extension of the basic Half-Wave Flower Pot higher gain is achieved by adding an additional half wave element. Once registered and logged in you will be able to contribute to this site by submitting your own content or replying to existing content.

Hmmm cant hear the audio on the clip you posted. Experimental DBHGFP Antenna A challenge laid down by M7MNP thanks Mav. An extension of the basic Half-Wave Flower Pot higher gain is achieved by adding an additional half wave element.

Double 58 Flower Pot Antenna. Home Made J-Pole Antennas J-Pole Antennas for 2 Meters. They are end fed coaxial dipoles with an interesting design to make them dual band.

Substitutes a 58 wave-length section for the top quarter wave of the basic half wave antenna design. How good is a G5RV and how do they work. Experimental Dual Band High Gain Flower Pot Antenna.

The antenna is constructed from RG58U coax 22mm plastic plumbing waste pipe and aluminium cooking foil. The sleeve is applied after the basic antenna has been constructed. This arrangement provides useful gain 3dB on the higher band.

Dual-Banding your 40m vertical for 15m. 2m and 70cm Flowerpot Antenna. This results in the antenna operating with four half-waves in phase on 70cm and provides a.

Dual Band High Gain Flower Pot Antenna. Is a Dipole better than a Cobweb Antenna. The effective radiating element length of the Single 58 Flower Pot is 78λ suggesting it would have somewhat less than 25dBd gain.

Bob mentioned that John VK2ZOI has some very. The ubiquitous Flowerpot antenna has been around since about 1993 but the origins go back to the mid 80s. Have a look at John VK2ZOIs page for a bit of a history lesson.

The diagram below shows the basic arrangement of the 2m Half-Wave version of the antenna. Bob VK3AIC with his recently built flower pot antenna from VK2ZOIs site. However note that the Handbook indicates that in practice the Gain Sleeve antenna would realise about 25dBd.

Theoretically this should provide an antenna gain of 3dBd at 2m. Anyway the credit here must go to VK2ZOI. The sleeve technique maintains the impedance matching for both bands and probably fortunately there is sufficient longitudinal impedance in the choke coil to provide the required isolation at the third harmonic.

Half-Wave Flower Pot Antenna. See the original article for more details. By all reports its a beauty.

A very neat antenna for 2 and 70. The effective radiating element length of the Single 58 Flower Pot is 78λ suggesting it would have somewhat less than 25dBd gain. How to build an Inverted L for the low-bands 40m 80m and 160m.

First construct the 2M antenna then fit the sleeve as shown in image 14. This arrangement provides useful gain 3dBd on the higher band. Half of the FPA dipole is the 14 wave wire center conductor of the coax the other half of the dipole is the 14 wave of coax shield.

Extension of the Single 58 and uses a 58λ element for both the top and bottom radiators. The antenna is dual banded to operate on 70cm using the same sleeve technique as used on the dual-band basic Flower Pot. 590x213 px Half Wave Flower Pot Antenna Vk2zoi - Sch40 pvc has a different velocity factor to grey upvc and as such my antenna needed some pruning.

Theoretically this should provide an antenna gain of 3dBd at 2m. But anyway not sure what else to say. A few years ago a made one of VK2ZOIs dual band flowerpot antennas.

2m Construction 2m Single 58 Flower Pot. However note that the Handbook indicates that in practice the Gain Sleeve antenna would realise about 25dBd. 2m Construction 2m Single 58 Flower Pot.

The antenna is dual banded to operate on 70cm using the same sleeve technique as used on the dual-band basic Flower Pot. The single and dual band versions are cheap to make and perform well as long as you stick to the dimensions given.
