Hello,
Id like to make my own Satellite Radio Antenna(xm) but dont want to
learn about antennas from the ground up.I am a machinist, so fabrication
would be pretty easy.Are there any plans.Some basic info may even get me
started.
Thanks
Mike


The XM radio antenna are circular polarized patch antenna's. The easiest
way to make one is to use printed circuit procedures.
Unless you want to undergo the educational aspects of the exercise my
advice is to buy a commercially made antenna.

I don't know about XM, but the Sirius antennas I have seen contain both a CP
sat antenna and a vertical terrestrial antenna. Also, they included preamps.
