DIY How to make 5.8ghz FPV Linear Antenna accurately using the Menace FREE 3d printed Antenna Tool
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лип 2017
- This really handy tool, will help to make 5.8Ghz antenna's for FPV on your micro drones or tiny whoop drones.
The tool has been designed to take away all the measuring, follow the guides and end up with a perfectly tuned 5.8Ghz antenna's every-time.
You will need some coax cable, RG316 cable is good enough for this project

Thanks Menace for this amazing little tool😎👍
That's a great tool :) thanks for sharing!
Got the tool now and a bandicoot... I only fly with omni antennas now... Nice one Greg 😉
Your a star making this works well on me whoop
Awesome vid thanks very much 👌
Thank you!
Awesome! Referred by painless360!
Simply awesome ;)
Thank you very much for releasing the STL (though I bought mine from you, as my 3D printer is out of comission). What are the advantages and disadvantages of the offset V antenna - other than getting snagged on things, of course!
Thanks or this! Great :)
Haha that's awesome. I love messing around making antennas. Anyone watching, check out Andrew McNeil a channel. He makes all kinds for FPV etc.
Great stuff MenaceRC!
Great idea for a handy little tool... One thing though. Your offset V antenna that you showed. You simply soldered the ground to what was in effect, a ground on a sleeved dipole. To make a true offset V antenna you would need to ditch the sleeved (ground) portion and use only the 120 degree offset part..... Or am I wrong?
Greg, that is so generous of you - thank you so much! One question, though, I have always understood the calculation worked out to 12.92mm - your tool makes an element which is significantly less than that. Is that on purpose or am I screwing up on my 3D printer scale?
Did you find the answer to this question? I have the same question. I printed this guide out and it's much shorter than what calculations show for 5.8ghz.
@@lincolnwilcox did you make the antenna on 11.7mm? how did it work on that lenght?
I take it you could use a linear like this soldered to an SMA connector as a little omni paired with a Bandicoot on a diversity module?
Thanks for this! Can you use the same tool to produce an RP-SMA for goggles too? Or am I better off just taking an old WiFi router antenna off?!
What kind of vector analyzer did you use in this video ?
How do you influence dBi on linear antennas like this?
Or do linear antennas like thisone just all have a similar dBi rating?
Great tool :)
Would it be possible to make a 2.4 ghz version for fixing antennas on RXs?
Hi Antti, were already working on some 2.4ghz, so will make sure we make another tool for the RXs antenna's
@@MenaceRC Badly wishing to have instructions on how to build a 2.4ghz one; just the lengths would be fine, I can measure myself..
Whats the offset V antenna purpose?
Hm... Bandicoot? Tell me more, please.
I noticed that too!
Its a new antenna that works really well at receiving linear antenna's I will put some info up about it soon
