Janus Project style Stumble rig
Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2007 5:48 am
I've been making a parts list and creating a design over the last few days for a Janus Project style stumbling setup. It's very doable. What I can't decide on is how to arrange the antennas and their connections to the cards. I want all the antennas to be amped with a mix of directional and omni types but my quandary is how to do that and still take advantage of the separate channel scanning of the 8 cards. I could do 8 omni's on the roof and look like an FCC unit driving down the road.
I suppose I could use two or four way power splitters and run one amped antenna for every two or four cards. Insertion loss runs 0.4 - 0.6 dB for the two types of splitters. Any thoughts on this are welcome.
