- the reflector 2 is formed of a metal plate generally made of copper. Steel, especially stainless steel or polychlorinated biphenyl (“PCB”) can be used as well. In this case, it may be advantageous to solder, for example copper, to the passage opening of the coaxial cable 5 formed in this reflector, so as to ensure a good physical and electrical connection.
- solder for example copper
- Such an assembly is known having been described for example in "Biquad Antenna Construction", Martybugs.net, Wireless Networking Info (http://martbugs.net/wireless/biquad) .
- FIG. 2 also shows that each element antenna 1, via its reflector 2, is secured to a support 7 which can take the form of four angled profiles.
- this support is Stainless steel.
- other materials particularly insulating materials such as polymethyl methacrylate may be used.
- the antenna according to the invention is devoid of support for antenna elements but includes a set of four biquad antenna elements 1 each comprising the reflector 2 and the biquad 3 connected to the coupler 4 by through the coaxial cable 5.
- the reflector 2 is configured also in antenna element support.
- each of the above biquad antenna elements may be easily determined from the values of parameters expressed in the description above and this, according to the working wavelength ⁇ in air, a shortening coefficient K, being applied in case the antenna elements are drowned in an electrically insulating medium.
- each of the four biquads 3 having its feeding center in 6, is connected to a 2.4 Ghz coupler indicated in 4 and shown in Figure 3.
- This connection is made via a coaxial cable 5 of an impedance 50 ⁇ , semi-rigid power supply cable covered with an electrically insulating material.
- each feeding center being distant from a length ⁇ of an adjacent feeding center, the diameter of the circle connecting these four centers is, by therefore, 174 mm.
- the length of each biquad that is to say, the distance separating the two vertices the more distant, is 90 mm, each of these biquads being 17 mm distant from the associated reflector 2.
- Each reflector consists of a 100 mm copper plate x 100 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm fixed on a antenna element support 7, two opposing reflectors being separated by 140 mm.
- the length of its linear conductors 11 is 19 mm each, the cylindrical conductor 12, formed of a bar made of copper or brass, having a diameter of 8.73 mm and a length of 65 mm determined by the curve at the figure 4.
- each of the four biquads 3 has its center power supply and is connected to a 500 Mhz coupler indicated in 4 and shown in Figure 3 and this, by via a coaxial power cable 5 (impedance: 50 ⁇ ).
- the diameter of the circle connecting these four centers is 850 mm.
- each biquads 3 consisting of a continuous copper wire, are configured in two squares equal, with a common vertex, each side of which has a length of about 150 mm (1/4 wave).
- the length of each biquad (distance separating the two vertices the more distant) is 420 mm and each of these biquads is 85 mm distant from the associated reflector 2.
- each reflector 2 consists of a steel plate stainless steel 680 mm in length and about 600 mm in height so that two opposing reflectors are separated by 680 mm.
- each reflector is provided of a hole 13 for the passage of the coaxial cable 5, orifice around which copper is brazed.
- Coupler 4 for its part, is identical to that of Example 1 except for the length of the conductor cylindrical which is 320 mm as determined by the curve in Figure 4.
- each of the four biquads 3 is connected to a 2.4 Ghz coupler indicated in 4 and shown in Figure 3 and this, by via a coaxial cable 5 power (impedance: 50 ⁇ ).

- the diameter of the circle that connects four centers 13 of the reflectors is about 180 mm.
- the antenna according to the invention is revealed particularly interesting to fight against typical swell phenomenon at the sea. Indeed, the image video received at 2.4 Ghz is of perfect quality exploitable and without stall even by 4 m swell between two boats about 6 km apart.
- this antenna can be adapted to other frequencies than 2.4 Ghz and in particular at frequencies of the order of 500 Mhz for the radio link (telephone and "data") where it has been just as effective.
- this antenna can be used both at the reception only on the show and can also find other applications such as transmission to 2 Mbits between ships.
