Looking for the right connector
I'm installing 802.11b/g in my IBM ThinkPad T23. I've done quite
a bit of research and got a 250mw WiFi internal (mini PCI) card, 2 micro coax (1.37mm OD) antenna leads and I'm building two antennas but I'm stumped on how to connect the antennas to the laptop. Ideally the connectors should be inline, like a headphone extension cable. The connectors will be secured to the rear of the LCD display in a way so that they point up when the display is open yet the antennas can be removed when I close the screen. Should I just use the 2 leftover Elecraft BNC chassis mounts I have? Anyone have a better (smaller) choice? What about RCA or 3/32" headphone plugs? Would they present too much of an impedance bump at 5.1ghz? -- 73's de Ken KG0WX - Kadiddlehopper #11808, Flying Pigs #-1055, Grid EM17io, Elecraft K2 #4913, XG2, 4SQRP Tenna Dipper, Heath GD-1B, MP-1(X) antenna & HLA-150 amplifier. |
