Development of a 23cm patch antenna


Looking for a robust design for a portable antenna to use with my new DJ-G7E, I decided to try a microstrip patch.This is just a precisely-shaped conductive plate suspended above a ground-plane; but by using PCB techniques, this becomes a simple rectangular "flat-panel" antenna

This camera did not include audio, but the circuit board is obviously the same one used for cameras with a mic

23 cm Hybrid-Quad von
Some time ago I experimented with double quad antennas in the 23cm band, and I found that the resulting gain in terms of material expenditure is very large, and the broadband nature of such antennas for ATVs is almost the same

50 MHz preamp Gain 26dB with the BFG135 Preamps for 144 and 430 MHz, for 50 MHz, the BFG135a is a cheap transistor and in my view rather strong. It is not easily damaged by static discharge or RF power. FG connection
