If you have never soldered with torch How to Sweat (solder). To solder using a torch: Capillary action is used to make a good joint. Next clean your pipe :) Polish until shiny, then flux and slip it through the hole. Find the out diameter of the pipe you are using, some of you might solder in a bulk head jack instead of pipe.
Once square, draw line corner to corner (of the square) to determine center. I did not do this, it would impact a longer range signal.
If making side flaps, make it 30mm longer on one side, so 123x153mm or 110x140mm. (radio)įirst thing we want to do is, make a square. If you are expert or novice, it helps knowing a little. And last but not least, educate ourselves :) I put some great links through the steps. I made this using no money, I could improve greatly on it If I choose. # Ingenuity each person that tries to match this will run into their own problems, wants, desires we are here to help yet, a level of McGyver like skills is a plus. # Hack saw, file, tin snips, wire strippers, a crescent wrench, flashlight.
A high watt soldering iron can, and has, worked. # Soldering skills is a must, I used a propane torch for most of this project. Personally, this is about a cheap hack job, and I can get a lot more coverage with a old TV dish (direct tv style). There is a lot of science about which size dish to use for 2.4GHz. If making a parabolic dish, one will need a dish :) Recycled one if possible. #Coax, a LMR-195 if 5', RG-58 will work if the section is short. You can use anything coductive, I use copper because the ease of workability, and low loss however, you can use any metal for any part of the project. Copper clad PCB board works, I chose just a sheet of copper I found. # A piece of square, flat, copper, if using a parabolic dish the dimesions are 110x110mm, without 123x123mm is best. # A small section of 3/4 (or smaller) copper pipe, about 8". For the constuction of a Bi-Quad, the following parts are needed:
