Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] PCB Log Periodic Antenna connection

Hi again,

 

Just to be clear,

do I just need to solder the legs of the small SMA connector with the holes in the PCB Log Antenna?

Just as much that it can barely hold?

 

Regards,

Betreff: PCB Log Periodic Antenna connection

 

 

Hi all,                               

 

I have an WA5VJB PCB Log Periodic Antenna including a SMA-F to SMA-M cable. I am using a N210 USRP and the SBX daughterboard. I have a second SMA-M/SMA-M cable.

 

How can I connect the Antenna to the Daughterboard / USRP ? Is there a way without soldering the included SMA cable to the antenna? I have also an SMA-M to SMA-M cable.

 

My intention was to connect the SMA-F/SMA-M cable to the daughterboard. Then I wanted to concatanate the second SMA-M/SMA-M cable to the first SMA-F/SMA-M cable. Finally, I wanted to connect the PCB Log Periodic antenna to the SMA-M / SMA-M cable via the connector (the small connector with the 4 legs).

 

I am afraid of making wrong terminations and to damage the Antenna ports. Also if I have to solder something onto the antenna, can anyone please explain how exactly I can do that?

 

Regards,

Dincer
