Please see subject line-- Help, Wifi Antenna-- on
alt.binaires.schematics.electronic
for a picture of my concept.
Looking to combine Helical antenna and Wifi adapter card in one unit.
My experience is limited to MW bcb. I know there are many pitfalls at
2.4Ghz, so I'm looking for feedback on how to do this properly.
I'm using the following page as my guide.

This is to extend the range of my laptop computer.

Hi Mike

You sure find some great information on the Web.

I consider this article Jason Hecker publishes
http://www.wlan.org.uk/jhecker.html to be ALL the instructions anyone
would need for constructing a 20 dB directivity WiFi antenna. I am
looking for some feedback from you on its performance.

If you plan to investigate basic effects of changing size and shape of
Helix antennas, EZNEC sure makes Helix antenna investigation easy.

I am just curious, what kind of coax and connectors are you using, and,
?how much coax?.

Hi Jerry, Please review the picture I posted on
alt.binaires.schematics.electronic
in it you will see I'm trying to avoid connectors and cable carrying 2.4Ghz

Thanks for being the only poster to have anything near a response to my
post.
