I'd like to build a cheap antenna with the following properties:
900 mhz to 2.4 ghz reception but more is better. I know thats asking a lot.
very directional
cheap.
any suggestions?
I thought about trying some sort of helical antenna but with log spaced windings in endfire mode and a soup can enclosure to block reception from the sides. would having a varying winding spacing give it some bandwidth or just hose it up? To be clear what I mean is the coil would have a constant diameter but more windings on one end than the other.
