Advice Needed: How to boost signal on 2.4 ghz av unit
 

Hi all,

I've searched using google but can't find anything exactly on this
topic. This newsgroup was the closest thing I can find.

I have the Jensen 2.4 ghz a/v sender and receiver system. This system
works fairly well but I would like to boost the output of the sending
unit as it can be finicky at times.

Has anyone done this or does anyone know where I can find
plans/schematics to do it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean by "finicky?" Are you trying to xmit outside the
effective (recommended) range? Remember, at 2400mHz, things like air
conditioning ducts and walls can interfere with signals.

What kind of antenna does the system use? Making certain that the rx/tx
antennas aren;t blocked (or close to a wall, metal plate, etc) is a
simpler way to ensure reliable operation.

More info is needed...

I would take a look at California Eastern Lab's website, MCL's website, or
RFMD's website. Both of them should have some helpful information.

If you can stand it to be directional, you can put a corner reflector
on the antenna. There are a bunch of websites that address this issue
for wireless lan. Cardboard, aluminum foil, origami and "you've got gain."
