Antenna that might work on a Axim X51V

inobey · 01-29-2007

Since the Axim does not have a external antenna connector I was wondering
if there are any external antennas that might offer a method of coupling
the RF radiated from the internal antenna. Passive coupler to coax
with external antenna.

thanks

It can be done, although you'd probably have to design your own. I've seen such designs for other bands, specifically I recall seeing one for GPS receivers. Google for similar devices, and you may get lucky and find one for the ISM band. Otherwise, you'll have to adapt one for 2.4GHz. Most such devices use an "inductive coil" as the coupler, so you might want to include those words in at least some of your searches.

I'm pretty sure it has a u-fl connector in it. I could be wrong though, I only had mine for a week.

Yep, I was wrong... You could try this though.

If you don't have a cf card yet get one and use that instead

Then he'll have to make it look like this...

I once had a cell phone exteranl antenna that connected to the cell
phone by small cylinder that went over the built in antenna and
coupled the energy to the external antenna. This worked better
than the build in antenna.

Do they make such a thing that could be used for Pocket PCs with no
external connector?

thanks

Didn't you already ask a question similar to this?

Antennas ain't software for PocketPC.. Moved to the hardware subsection and merged with previous thread.
