Hi,

I am a relative newbie and as part of a project I want to construct a dipole antenna at 800 MHZ using a coaxial cable of dia 0.085 inches.

I want to know if anybody has any experience in constructing dipole antennas from coax. How do I feed the center conductor of the dipole using a SMA connector? Any help/info/ articles etc will be very much apprecitated.

Thanks
 

Just go ahead, you cannot do anything wrong since it's a simple antenna.

Just solder the SMA pin to one arm, and the SMA-ground to the other arm.

Note: It's not exactly lamda/2, it's 95% of lamda/2 perhaps.
