[Mesh] pallet of high gain (11dbi) directional wifi antenna's up for auction

[John Fitz]

Dang, well I picked up the pallet of antennas and it looks like they're the
CELLMAX-EXT-CPU which only cover 806–960 MHz and 1710–2200 MHz :( . Hey but
on the plus side, they contain tee couplers that are rated for the full 698–960
MHz and 1710–2700 MHz. I've needed a 2.4Ghz coupler for a while now and
that alone was worth the minimum bid for me. With one of those, a noise
source and a spectrum analyzer, I can start characterizing Wifi/Bluetooth
antennas.
The antenna design is relatively simple and pretty cool looking. It would
be interesting to try and simulate the design and see how much would have
to change in order to extend the range. Also, if anyone wants to build a
phase arrayed radar system...
