: Rhombic and V-type Antennas
Autofils 2008-12-05, 07:52 PM FWIW: In the spirit of offering alternate Designs for TV antennas, here is another option to go along with my previous posting on LPDA antenna design.
For those that are interested, I came across a patent for a combination Dual Rhombic and V-type antenna that provides any DIY'er with a VHF and UHF combo antenna, that claims a design objective of 12-15 dBi for VHF, including Ch2-6; and 26dBi for UHF.
Normally Rhombic antennas are large, but for those that have a suitable outdoor location, this type of antenna presents some interesting options.
Patent Abstract:
============
A combination of two justaposed rhombic antennas and a V-antenna on a single, longitudinal, non-condictive support boom. The two rhombic antennas lie flat upon one another in substantially the same plane and are supported on the boom with insulating transverse spreader rods.
What is claimed ?
=============
In the Summary of Invention, the patent makes the following claims:
- provides low wind resistance
- a good front to back ratio having substantially a zero angle of radiation
- improved signal in the Channel 2 to 6 range....
- UHF gain objective of 26db
- VHF gain objective of 12-15 dB with F/B of 30-40dB
US patent 4,667,204 is dated May 19, 1987 with the following title:
Combination Dual Rhombic and V-Type Antenna for VHF-UHF Televison Receivers.

300ohm 2008-12-05, 09:33 PM Heh, I thought that patent looked familiar, I downloaded it in March. Comparing it to the gain of other rhombic designs, I would be skeptical about the gain claims of that patent.
I did see mention somewhere of a six stack rhombic that had a gain of 26 db (or even higher ?). Rhombics are huge antennas, each leg needs to be like a minimum of 5 wavelengths. But maybe useful for your wi-fi antenna ?
Autofils 2008-12-06, 01:29 AM Heh, I thought that patent looked familiar, I downloaded it in March.
I posted it in the spirit of sharing other DIY options, and that it might serve the title of this thread..."Research and Development". This patent also references about 18 other patents, that readers might want to take a look at. As you say, this is a quite large structure, and perhaps may be "over-the-top"
If it's deemed not appropriate, I'm sure Stampeder will deep six it.
I would be skeptical about the gain claims of that patent.
Nothing wrong with being skeptical. I've seen posts that stated similar skepticism on some of the GH 18dBi designs. That view is valid, until there is some "real-world evidence that supports the claim.
Anyone willing to experiment ?
...maybe useful for your wi-fi antenna ?
Not really, as I had mentioned before, my Wi-Fi, is one of my private GH projects, which is investigating the effect of half-angles >45 and results to date are quite interesting.
My other private project is a practically-sized GH-FM antenna which is currently under trial, and for our local Ottawa requirements, I've added a third project that will investigate variations on j3d's excellent X-GH8 design, which will try to achieve hi gain over the Ch23 to Ch38 bandwidth, as it now appears, based on latest reception/astc tuner reports by mlord, that only 18dBi may be required and this appears achievable in a single x-GH antenna with max height of around 65".
300ohm 2008-12-06, 01:39 AM My other private project is a practically-sized GH-FM antenna which is currently under trial
Im curious, what gain do you have on it at 85 mhz ?
based on latest reception/astc tuner reports by mlord,
Yeah, it sounds like a newer generation ATSC tuner might be the answer to your problems with that one channel.
Autofils 2008-12-06, 01:59 AM Im curious, what gain do you have on it at 85 mhz ?
The design is for FM 88 to 108Mhz. To keep the GH-FM to a practical size, the current design operates at f/2 and there is a very rapid fall-off below 88Mhz, so I'm afraid, as designed, it is worse than rabbit ears for Ch 6, and probably has negative NetGain at 85MHz.
If you are after a simple design for Ch 6, you could try a Lazy-H.
If memory serves me, I think what I modeled had about 4dBi, maybe as high as 6(?) without any reflectors.
You could also look at a VHF-Lo LPDA design, 7-8dBi is possible with a relatively small number of elements. Have a read of the LPDA design pdf link that I recently posted.
mlord 2008-12-06, 11:54 AM it now appears, based on latest reception/astc tuner reports by mlord, that only 18dBi may be required
So far, this continues to hold up.
I've got MythTV all nicely upgraded to the current stable release (0.21), with (almost) the latest Linux hardware drivers and associated software. It's sitting here today recording our usual Saturday PBS programming in digital, as well as on the old analog tuners for the time being.
Looks like the sun is out now, so I'll have it record various bits through the afternoon as well -- usually the toughest conditions for reception. It'll take a few weeks before I give it 100% confidence and stop recording the analog versions alongside, but all indications are very good right now.
So the existing gain setup (dual PR-8800, 0.4dB LNA, 1:4 splitter) seems to be sufficient with the XC5000 tuner front-end (in the 950Q).
And the 950Q, being a tiny little USB stick, is easy to move around.. say for brief trials at other antenna test sites if/when the need arises. :)
Cheers

wildwillie 2011-02-05, 11:51 PM Now theres a big antenna .Rhombic you would need 4 telephone poles
But anyways I was over at holl_ands site looking around at some antennas and came across a Cubical Quad and copied a copy of the NEC and had a close look at and I seen what looked like a Rhombic without a termenal resistor
I have not figured out how to make one up yet in 4NEC2 But someone else here i believe does.
Anyways after discovering this , I sent a message off to holl_ands telling him of my discover or what i had seen and wanted him to know. I also sent him off a NEC file that i was playing with and well I would like to post the NEC file with holl_ands and my work.
holl_ands I posted the NEC file as you sent it back to me IM still play with what you said.
holl_ands how do I go about making a termenal resistor ? I'm a little lost there. Oh and hollands I have a 2477 mhz one designed also :cool:

holl_ands 2011-02-06, 04:37 PM VHF+UHF Small Rhombic Stack:
Termination Resistors (300-ohm each) are connected between the two wires going
into the apex as shown in the diagram, just like a Balun connection at the Feedpoint.
The wires going into the apex are NOT connected directly together...that is an artifact of 4nec2.
I used LD Cards to simulate PAIRS of 150-ohm resistors, each in series with the last wire segment,
so that they would be symmetric (vice 300-ohm on only one wire).
Full results can be found here:
http://imageevent.com/holl_ands/dipoles/uhfsmallrhombicstack
As can be seen from the charts, performance mid-band is quite good, but falls off for
both Gain and F/B Ratio on low and high freqs. I was surprised by the low SWR for Hi-VHF,
even though Max Gain poked out the REAR (a common occurrence for "UHF" antennas).
http://photos.imageevent.com/holl_ands/dipoles/uhfsmallrhombicstack//VHFandUHF_Small%20Rhombic_Stacked_WildWillieandholl_ands%20-%203D%20View.jpg
In the 4nec2 file above, Rsrc was incorrect and the Termination Resistors were commented out.
Here's the revised 4nec2 file with the Termination Resistors enabled:

holl_ands 2011-02-07, 10:15 AM Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) Vertical Rhombic:
For SWR=1.08 reported in the file above, you obviously assumed 300-ohm characteristic impedance.
HOWEVER, Wi-Fi transmitters are 50-ohm, which would cause a serious mismatch.
If you buy or build a 4:1 Balun Transformer that operates with low loss across the Wi-Fi band,
(TV Band Baluns probably are HIGH loss) then you might be interested in SWR performance
for a 200-ohm load, which I summarized in the revised 4nec2 file below...not very good, unless
you restrict the Wi-Fi channel assignment to the "sweet spot"....
[I included FR and RP statements for running a frequency sweep across the entire Wi-Fi Band.]
You should research Wi-Fi transmitter modules (check part number inside your router???)
to see what sort of antenna VSWR they can tolerate. Even moderate levels of reflected power
can distort the transmitted digital waveform and higher levels might trip output protect circuits
and possibly even destroy the transmitter device....
I tried 33-ohm as well as a 200-ohm Termination Resistor, but essentially no difference.
I also tried "LD 3" (Parallel R-L-C) in addition to "LD 2" (Series R-L-C) statements.....no difference.
Here's the revised 4nec2:
CM Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) Vertical Rhombic, 4nec2 by wildwillie, 7Feb2011
CM holl_ands: added FR+RP Choices, GW2+3 segments equal, try 200-ohm Resistor (no diff).
CM At 2477 MHz: Gain=16.1 dbi, F/B=8.4 dB, HBW=20-deg, VBW=10-deg. AGT=1.0.
CM 300-ohm SWR=1.08 at 2477, but if using 4:1 Balun to match 50-ohm then
CM 200-ohm SWR<2.0 from 2445-2488 MHz and SWR<2.7 from 2400-2445 and 2485-2500.
CM Termination Resistor = 200-ohms, in SERIES R-L-C on GW4's center segment (6).
