Ok, so I'm researching through the physics of Yagi-Uda antennae and how the parasitic elements work and are related to the driven elements. But when looking at reflectors, I've noticed one major thing that has irritated me. The reflector bar is always larger than the half wavelength by approximately 3-5%, yet the amount of increase never is related to the sine angle expected in the material. Do you happen to know why this is? And one other thing, not sure if I'm hurting your sales on this so please forgive me, but at 2:45, I can clearly see that both reflectors on the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz antennae have the bottom half bent, and that the driven element on the 5Ghz is clearly at an angle compared to the beam path. Is the model you show here actually how they all your antennae are produced? And if so, why?
So help me understand the recieve gain on the antenna. Do I need another antenna and router on the distant end to retrans the signal from the device back to the home antenna? Is it possible to attenuate the signal strength as to narrow to beam width and distance? And there another device needed for frequency conversion from if to rf and back? Please let me know if I'm overthinking this. Sorry I work with LOS and EHF tooso I tend to overthink everything....if it's just signal fairies just say so....
LOL definitely over thinking this one. These days all radios are tx/rx. So when you plug an antenna to a router/usb adapter/repeater/etc.. it will work to receive and transmit on the same line. Having another antenna on the other side will help better signal get from point A to Point B but that's it in most cases. Lastly, attenuating does not change the signal pattern in the way you are thinking - it will just travel less in the forward direction.
I could never get this right so I connect the yagi to my laptop and get signals from blocks or miles away right or do I have to connect it to my router at home and then get the signals from mile a away is there any possible way I can get an antenna just to hook to my laptop and get the signal from a mile away or more instead of hooking it up to a router maybe I should hire a hacker for $30 an hour and answer some of my questions right
Hi, thanks for the video ..first time i see your channel :awesome , i have question , what is the best device to get a signal from a long distance , bit confused from different brands and different antenna ..i need the best which get hotspots from long distance , can u suggest 2 or 3 ..thanks a lot
Will this pick up wifi from places like McDonald's so I can use their wifi? What's the longest range that one can go? I'm looking for one that will reach 2.5 to 3 miles
@@SimpleWiFi I got the SimpleWiFi Ultra Long Range WiFi Extender G2424 Directional Parabolic Grid (High-Speed Signal Booster) Outdoor Antenna that will reach up too 8 miles
Question - If you were connecting this to the AWUS036AC - would you be able to operate dual band off of just the one cable, plugged into one side of the adapter? I think on a lot of these new adapters they are splitting the 5ghz and the 2.4 into completely different antennas. Do you guys offer a version with two cables? I couldn't find one on the website. Thanks!
Nah nevermind they just have a misleading image on the ALFA site. Both of the antennas supplied with it are dual band. I'll pick one of these up. Thanks for the informative videos. I have several cheap chinese yagis and they all suck, I'll come back and let you know this one does :)
Im new to Yagi's If i use a yagi, do i need some reciever or something as well? Or can i recieve the WiFi directly on my phone or tablet over for example 500 meter? And what about the speed for long distance?
You need a radio of some kind to plug the Yagi into. The antenna alone does nothing. Please reference our how it works page for more detail: www.simplewifi.com/pages/how-it-works
SimpleWiFi thanks, yes i have a router with replaceable antenna. But was curious if i can recieve it on a phone on long distance, and it my phone can send things back. Or do i also need some kind of reciever to recieve the Yagi?
I found a UK supplier if you're interested. his link in the description is down below. Hope this helps. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tbKNytqJJHY.html
