Hi,
I want to design an antenna for point-to-point communication in the 2.4GHz band. I have gone through basic antenna theory but obviously that's not good enough to start making an antenna.
I'm not yet sure what material would be required, or how to go about making even a short dipole, monopole, or any of the simple designs.
My end goal is to construct a directional antenna for point-to-point communication with a range of about 100ft. From what I understand, increasing the length (wrt to the wavelength), having a phased array, or a reflector are some techniques that can be used to achieve directionality. There are some antennas such as Yagi/Log-periodic/Dish that are similar to what I want to achieve.
Can someone help me how I can proceed?
Thanks.
