Antennas

Post by rthorntn »

G'day Nuand,

Would you consider shipping a Log Periodic PCB directional antenna with BladeRF, like these:

https://www.ettus.com/product/details/LP0410
https://www.ettus.com/product/details/LP0965
http://www.winradio.com.au/home/ax37a.htm

Obviously not exactly like these, maybe one that more closely matched the 300MHz - 3.8GHz frequency range?

This would be at additional cost, hopefully a similar price to the Ettus models, the Winradio antenna is expensive, and it would be great if you could ship it all together, maybe also have an option for a pair of them (TX & RX) and include cables, basically everything a beginner needs to get going?

Thanks for your time.

Cheers
Richard

Just FYI, you can buy the Ettus antennas for less money (although minus the SMA connector) from the original source.

I dont think that an antenna should be a part of the basic system. It should be an accessory that could be ordered or supplied elsewhere at the user option.

Thanks for your replies.

I am new to all of this can other BladeRF users please let me know what they are going to use as a wideband antenna then?

Thanks.
