Do you have a drawing or photo of the original vertical SMA connector? It is no longer available on eBay.

Do you think this Molex would be a good substitute?

The centre pad is just slightly larger than the pin (55 mil vs 50 mil) and that might not be enough for a reasonable solder fillet.

amazing antenna, thank you! how do I alter the python script to generate antennas in other bands? there are a lot of number values in a script, and I'm not sure which are responsible adjusting the freq

Dear Maarten!.. Please do not give up my message...
I realy love Your Model Creator... And realy loves game maker too...
And so - I was try too construct some very simple instruments to work
in game maker with 3d sceletal anemations and some other things in 3d like
map prefab, path finding, AI, TCP/IP online connection with breaking walls and custumazing charecters
And you can find my work in very worst kind of, but I realy wanted yours proffesional redaction to use
my work together with Best Ever Programmer I knowed 8)
Please take my stuff https://cloud.mail.ru/public/DQSb/9S8UzrrPW - [TREEPEEX 3D] 32mb

sorry about my English...

Ik weet niet wie deze vertaler is, maar in principe begrijp ik waar je over schrijft, beste Maarten, maar ik heb een iets ander soort probleem, niet hetzelfde als met texturen in de modelmaker, ik zou echt Ik wil graag mijn functionaliteit voor skeletanimatie aan uw project toevoegen, maar helaas ben ik niet competent genoeg om dit programma zelf te schrijven, vanwege het feit dat ik uw functie of een functie die vergelijkbaar is met de uwe moet gebruiken voor het selecteren van hoekpunten om hun aantal gerelateerd aan te bepalen een bepaalde transformatie binnen de eenvoudigste skeletstructuur, geschreven door YellowAfterLife en aangevuld door het frame voor frame opnemen van poses in een bestand. Ik zou u zeer dankbaar zijn als u dit zou willen toevoegen aan de nieuwe versie van het Creator-model

Ik zou je ook dankbaar zijn voor het introduceren van andere nuttige dingen die ik heb voorbereid voor de mogelijke toekomstige Model Creator Studio, dus er is een prefab-editor in bestanden met de .lvl-extensie waarin je modellen kunt rangschikken als delen van een verticaal georiënteerde kaart met de selectie van een laag op coördinaat z zou deze code in het bestand waarschijnlijk kunnen worden aangevuld met de initiële positie van het prefab ten opzichte van zijn rotatie en de creatiegebeurtenis kunnen coördineren met de aanwezigheid van de benodigde objecten en modellen daarin, er is ook een voorbeeld dat zijn werk demonstreert, de editor zelf, het is gemaakt in een isometrische weergave om de mogelijkheden ervan in 3D te demonstreren en bevindt zich samen met de editor in de map raiders, en kijk niet naar de eenvoud

Ik zou het ook heel graag willen en het zou geweldig zijn als je bumpmaping zou kunnen toevoegen. Ik heb er een voltooide versie bij, maar die is niet van mij en ik heb er niets aan toegevoegd...
dit is eigenlijk al het werk dat ik u ter referentie heb aangeboden...

Just to let you know how someone spoils the name of Marteen Baert...
A colleague from the FPB branch brought me the pagoda-3B RHCP antenna. The antenna was purchased as a finished product from the dealer. It is not homemade work. A colleague could not get a high-quality video signal with this antenna. He tried the antenna and tightened the connector until he managed to break the pin on the SMA male connector. He wanted to repair the antenna - replace the pin. With a good antenna, no problem to replace the SMA connector. Put the antenna in water to cool the connections and solder the connector outside the water.

BUT! Plate part2 and plate part3 are soldered to the cable in the correct order but bad position. Are soldered upside down. The plates are not soldered in parallel planes. D1 is in the range of 3.00-3.37mm, D2 is in the range of 10.33-10.49mm. It is not possible to determine from the table for which range of frequencies the antenna should work, for D1=3.1mm it comes out above 6GHz. But D2 would correspond to a frequency of 5.8GHz. The unevenness of the discs is visible even without a measuring in good light. Nothing would help here even if the antenna was made of gold.
I don't know who the "quality" seller is.
I will try to gently disassemble the antenna and re-solder the disks to the cable with a new connector.
Let the fans of FPV always check the purchased antenna so that it is not the cause of the crash and blame the author that IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME!
Happy fly!

With KDE upgrade to Plasma 6 the windows of SimpleScreenRecorder no longer can be dragged/moved by their unused window content. Alt key also doesn't allow for the window to be dragged. Not sure if this fault is caused by SSR's structure or new Plasma 6. Please also reconsider if Wayland support is ready!

Hi Maarten,

First of all, thanks for the design! I'm trying to DIY the antenna, and might have a naive question, if I directly solder RG178 or other type of coaxial cable onto the place where the SMA connector is supposed to be, would that be OK?

Also it is fine if I order the hybrid design from the PCB manufacturer, but only solder (either the SMA connector or coaxial cable) onto 1 of the feed locations?

Also, are you aware of the Actuna Triple Feed Patch Mini: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2682348. I'm curious if it is in any way associated with your original design, or if you have comments on it, like if there is any performance tradeoff for the smaller size.

Again, thanks for open sourcing the design!

Gabriel

I just made four of the edge design. Thank you for sharing the design!
I trimmed solder close to PCB with wire snips but I noticed that you have not done so to your - does it matter?
When soldering the edge connector should the solder cover the connector's feet completely?
What is the top circular element supposed to do - what happens if it's size is smaller?

Hi Maarten,

this is a cool design, specially the simplicity of it, basically two PCBs.
I would like to try few changes and run simulation by myself.
I found there are HFSS files for simulation for other antennas.
Would you share the HFSS design files Triple Feed Patch Array antenna as well?

I would also like to know, which SW tools did you use to develop this (ADS?, AlterPCB-TLineSim?).
Do you have any (open source) recommendation.
I already read about this development a bit in Triple Feed Patch comments and I think I understand the principle, but it would be a nice section for your website as well, of course, if you have time to write it down.

Best regards,
Marko

Is there a way to record constantly, but have it separate the video into several smaller files, based on either time and/or file size? Similarly to how you would in a security system? I'm running a simulation that I want to catch something I thought I saw in, but I don't want to physically sit around for several days waiting to see it occur.

Theoretically you could, but it would be impractically large (and expensive due to PCB cost).

Hi MAarten! I am using Triple Feed Patch Array antenna with DJI Goggles V2. How the range of these antennas compares to sometning popular like TrueRC X2-Air MK II? Everyone I know are recommending TrueRC because they are much smaller and still good for long range. Could you, please share your thoughts on whether I am getting any better range from these huge 150mm array antennas than for example from much smaller TrueRC?

Could this design be adapted to generate an 868MHz antenna and would that make any sense? I know, it's a completely different frequency band, but for my application (telemetry system for a small race car) it would be perfect.

I don't know what website you are referring to, but I can say that the Triple Feed Patch will not work properly with different PCB thicknesses. Not because of the patch itself (it isn't very sensitive to PCB thickness) but because of the feed network on the back side, which depends on the precise PCB thickness to create transmission lines with various impedances.

Hi, there is a website called kembros.github which generates patch antenna. It has a calculator that helps to set the di-electric value that is the thickness of the pcb used. So my local designer has least 1.2mm thick board. And I have generated the design for 1.2mm board. Would this called any problem for the antenna? And since I'm using 1.2mm board, should the distance between top plate and bottom plate be still 3mm or 2.8mm? Please reply.

Hi, do you think you could make a version of the antenna that uses through-hole vertical sma connectors instead of surface mount ones?
Through hole ones are usually easier and cheaper to find online, and should result in a stronger physical connection.
Also, for assembly, would it be possible to flip the smaller PCB upside down, and have it be spaced just 2mm from the back PCB?
I personally love the looks of the actual copper elements, so having them facing front would be quite neat.

Recording with a UHD Monitor:
I am using a UHD monitor with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 video card + Nvidia driver 510 in Xubuntu 20.04. The Linux infrastructure hasn't caught up with UHD everywhere. As with other QT programs, I must start SSR with an environment variable QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2, so I use a command line

env QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 simplescreenrecorder

In most cases, SSR behaves as I would expect, but on a Youtube page in Firefox, SSR seems not to know that the X2 scaling for UHD is in effect. In addition, the Youtube page does not allow me to select the recording rectangle; the "+" cursor for selecting the rectangle changes back to an arrow as soon as I click the mouse button to select the first corner of the rectangle, and I can't select anything on a Youtube web page.

However, I've found that SSR can still record from the Youtube page if the rectangle coordinates lie within the scope of a normal HD monitor. Divide your UHD screen into four equal rectangles. Position the Youtube window you want to record from in the upper, left-hand rectangle and mark its upper left and lower right corners with a (non-permanent) marker or a sticker. Then you must deselect the Youtube tab or close Firefox; if the Youtube page is waiting for input, it won't let "Select rectangle" do its job, and it blocks tooltips, as well. Go to the start screen of SSR. Continue to "Input profile". Press "Select rectangle" and with the mouse select the (empty) area defined by your two marks or stickers. Now you must multiply each of the four rectangle parameters by 2. You should now see that SSR thinks it is going to record from a much larger area, shown by the hatched area on the screen. Reopen the Youtube page and position the window you're going to record from to the marks you made earlier. Now you're set to record.

Since many, if not most Youtube videos are still only HD anyway, you'll seldom be losing detail by using this workaround.

Some nitpicking: "(not supported by container)" appears to mean SSR can't record; in other words, the option is not an option, which wasn't immediately clear to me, although I do understand what containers and codecs are, sort of. So I thought SSR would find another way to record, since it offered me the option, but then rectangle selection simply didn't work - no error message, nothing. I haven't used QT, but other windowing libraries let you disable an option while keeping in it the menu. They shade or strike through the option text and don't call the attached code when the user clicks on the menu item. Disabling would have saved me some initial frustration with SSR. Or is there some possibility I'm missing here?

Also: It took a while for me to realize that SSR was showing me the recording area in a hatched rectangle on the monitor screen. This can be a great help, and I might have noticed it sooner if it were mentioned in the tooltips.

BUT: Great work! I know that video programming is, as we say, a royal pain in the ass, and it's wonderful that you've made such a flexible but clear and understandable screen recorder for the Linux world. It's a model I would recommend to anyone setting out to write a GUI app.

Hey! I'm encountering an issue where drawing a floor doesn't seem to work? It only renders the bottom face, which is a behavior unlike the other shapes such as the triangles. I've tried reinstalling the program, entering compatibility mode for Windows 7 / XP and running as administrator.

Also is there a way to turn off backface culling within the application itself?

Thank you so much!
