4G LTE Omnidirectional Antenna

Hello Andrew, as per other comments, is there a calculator for this antenna? (4GX (Telstra AU) is 723MHz/778MHz) (Would build a Yagi but they are difficult to make mobile).

Greetings Andrew, always a very inspiring video each time. I have just got into plane tracking using ASD-B and was wondering if you had any ideas for improved reception of signals at 1090MHz

Great! You are moving forward towards LTE not just Wi-Fi 👍. Any tips on adding a horn to an LNB? I have the Bullseye for the QO-100 amateur 🛰 that I would like to receive from inside the house behind the window of course. Thanks

Is this going to boost 4g network coverage in a poor signal area?

Great little antenna, I'm aways amazed that you can combine different antenna elements to achieve multi band antennas.

I have a lot of antenna elements from cellular sector antennas.
I can send you some if you are interested, they might be interesting to take a look at :)

Greetings,
Michael

Is it possible to build antenna that can omnidirectionally receive any type of frequency? If yes, can you make video on how to build it if possible?

I came across this that you might be interested in building. Google "Magneto-Dielectric Wire Antennas Theory and Design by Tom Sebastian".

hi love ur videos.. ill like to ask.. i bought mobile signal booster.. i want to split it signal bcoz come only one ceiling antenna ..so try to make the antenna 4g one more to split the signal to make more signal coverage.. can i do that with this?

thanks u so much sir,

Hi,
Would this work for Three UK's dual-band setup of 800 and 1800 Mhz respectively?
If not, which bits would I have to extend/shorten?

can these antenna be stacked up to increase gain? eg use 4 or 8 of them on a single wire lead? and what would be the best way to do that, stacked vertically on the same orientation? or stacked at 90 deg to the lower one. (I know we need 2 of them/2 leads MIMO) on some routers, when you attach an external antenna, it disables the internal one. so how much gain would one need for it to be effective?

How to adjust this anntena for high gain? On single 2100mhz frequency

Andrew can you make high gain antenna fro 2100mhz frequency. Please

Do empedance matter of the antenna

I made one but it's not working 😔...

@andrew mcneil i would love to see you do more 4G LTE builds and get some cheap 4G LTE Antenna from ebay and improve them so they work i got 4g lte 4g-antenne thats spelling on the box it works but the antenna in my 4g router work way better

Could anyone please confirm that magnet wire may also be used to build the antennas?
I was thinking that the enamel can act like corrosion protector.

I'd like to see you make more 4G & 5G antennas. I live in an area that cellular signal is pretty weak in (-100 to -120 db). I'd also like to see how you connect two of these to an amplifier.

Thank you very much!

Put this one on your eBay store

Hi Andrew, thank you for all the videos showing us how you make different antennas and how well they work! But for someone as dumb and lazy as me, I have a request (you can consider it a challenge ;-)). Can you fashion an antenna for 2.35 Ghz out of the garden variety TV coax cable, where I could just take a long piece of coax up to my roof, strip the outer cover, expose the center conductor, twist it (not too complex, because I lack even the skills you'd consider basic) into a suitable antenna and fix the coax to something (most likely a wall) and then get back into the living room and do the same with the other end. This way, no cutting, no soldering, no special impedance matching devices (I guess it would mean coiling the center conductor suitably without any special tools) etc. And we could make the enhanced LTE signal make its way into the living room with just a length of coax and some elbow grease (and your brainwork of course!). I eagerly await the McNeil Antenna! TIA.

if u want to add a reflector what distance it need to be?
i made one and it gave me 5 to 8 mb improvement download!!
i made it whith thin copper wire and the mesuraments are not perfect but it work!what?
i sitck it to the window and then i put aluminium foil as a reflector whith a paper between and it helped!
sorry nmy english not perfect
thank you

im looking forward to building this, thank you andrew for the plan.
one thing i'm not sure of is the 26mm section at the bottom obviously the 15mm leg is at the centre at 13mm but what is the spacing for the 20mm legs from the centre? thanks, carl

i need to overcome ~15 to 20 dBm, if this were much larger, would that help gain?

could you do 4g for a car (omni) with more gain, please

3g?

Hi, would you consider making and selling a version that would work on Three network - 800, 1400 and 1800mhz. Thank you

Just found your channel love it! Most MNO in UK use band 3 and band 20 lte I think, well LTE800 and LTE2100. So an antenna with best response at those bands, rather than wide band including 2.3gig, 2.7 and up to 3.6gig for 5g would be real useful. In addition, since in rural areas L800 is used most (coverage rather than capacity) having a high gain log periodic or something that is sturdy and tuned narrow-band for say 700-900 would be of use for a lot of people

This is a system of dipoles at different frequencies.

Hi is there any way to catch 4G signals from every direction with one antenna?

Nice work bro keep it coming 😊😊😊😊thank you very much for your time & kindness, thanks

are the angles of the 15 mm and 20 mm parts important, also where the 20 mm parts attach to the 26 mm part?
What about the distance between the two 10x10 mm squares.. the angle of the 15 mm part could fix those, but maybe that is easier to define?
Thanks

Hi. I'm still a little bit stupid with antennas but I bought all the stuff to make one similar to this....

Can this design and proportion be scaled up in size equally and it still function.?
Or is the size critical to its working freq??

Make 2300 -2400 mhz only antenna please 🙏

Antenna tnt tv is good

Nice built but where’s the results? And this is only for those LTE modems like you can’t put that in your lightning port on your iPhone

Hi, I have a cottage in the woods of Sweden where 4G coverage is not the best. I have a Huawei 4G router which have given me between 6 and 10 Mbit/s download and 3-5 Mbit/ upload, which I can live with. I watched your video, and thought I would have a go at making this antenna. It didn't turn out as nice as yours, but I changed out one of the original antennas with this one and I got 19-23 Mbit/s download and 13-15 Mbit/s upload speed. I am very pleased with the result.
Thank you so much Andrew.

Now we have the antenna. What device is used between this and mobile phone? Router?

Greetz Andrew, first off thanks so much for your many videos on the subject, great job / hobby !
I have been looking at this design and wanted to make something similar (for mimo use on a mifi)
I found it interesting though you talking about milimeters (and your most certain at these frequencies) and using a digital meter going up to a 10th of a milimeter then ... I see your plying/folding looks far from being 'scientifically milimetric' ;-)
To counter this I was thinking to make this antenna starting from a mold (having ceramics experience) and cast it in aluminium. That way the material could be a lot thicker (thinking of the Kathrein antennas you dissected ;-) so in stead of a the 1.5mm I could triple the thickness (would that seem acceptable ? could it be even thicker ?)
The thing casting it in alumium is I would be able to make a more precise design by correcting it gently with the dremel.
Or would you have any better desing lying around for casting in alu ?
Might you have any thoughts ?
Thanks
JB

Hi sir
I am from India
I live in no network (110 to 125 dbi ) network
Which antenna is useful for me

Спасибо за антенну. Попытаюсь изготовить.

can i add reflector to this build?

How did you figure out the shape of the antenna?

On Cuba in 900 to 1800 MHz can working?

Hi Andrew. Interesting video and antena solution. Does it can be used as passive repeater with same antenas on each side coaxial wire? Thanks for your advice.

Really do love your content Andrew, hoping you can answer a question for me.
I am on the edge of a fairly good 4g/lte signal, main problem is quality of signal even using a Poynting omnidirectional antenna, I have however found a far better signal some 40 metres from the house down the garden, problem is getting that signal back to the house, how would you suggest this be done without degrading the signal?

Hi Andrew, just wondering if you've done a video on creating an omnidirectional antenna dedicated to bands 20 and 8, that is with a good response from 800Mhz upto about 1Ghz. This would be very usefull for me in my rural, non - line of site position. If so, could you poitnt me to it please. Thanks, Keith

Thank you very much. It works well and the satisfaction is priceless.
