Description
5-6GHz 16dBi horn antenna. Just need to trim the driving wire to the desired range using a VNA (like the LiteVNA/NanoVNA). Apply tape VERY WELL and across the areas where the screws are (see photos for examples). The smoother the tape and better the connection between the components the better. Make sure to solder the SMA connector to the copper. I would also recommend using super glue to keep the SMA connector in.
Designed for 3M screws.
