Lucent "range extender" internal pictures

02-26-2002

I have a couple of scans of the insides (pcb antenna). I can upload to someone's ftp site if you are willing to post them on the web for everyone to see.

If anyone cares to see this (I personally am too new to see the interest), I will post this on my website.

02-28-2002

Go ahead. Someone out there might be interested.

I am willing to post it to our website which is wlan oriented. Feel free to contact me at otaku42@gmx.de

Bye, Mike

Hi all.

outcast_one sent me the pictures a few days ago, and I managed it today to post them into the web. They can be found at:

If there are other users out there having interesting pictures showing the internals of commercial antennas or wireless lan cards, feel free to contact me. I will post them to planet-wireless.de as well.

Bye, Mike

This looks like some kind of variation on the classic full wave dipole antenna. It's kind of hard to tell from the pictures, but it appears the stuff at the bottom is forming some kind of "balun," which converts to signal from the cable to something appropriate to drive the antenna.

I have done extensive engineering testing on cell phone antennas, and I can say with confidence that very little improves wireless link performance as much as getting the antenna away from noise sources like PCs. I suspect a significant amount of the improvement people realize is from that factor alone.

i's a simple 2*1/2 lambda with a balun at the base.
(by the way GOOd picture !!)
it's not the "killer antenna system"
Approximative gain : 6 dBi.... no more ......
Config here : 2 miles path,17 dBm and 67% signal with old aironet 350 ( the best ones for me)and two 2 feet tv dish
