Comment #1: Tue, 22 Oct 2024, 13:03 (GMT+1, DST) 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 |

Comment #5: Mon, 10 Jun 2024, 2:07 (GMT+1, DST) Just to let you know how someone spoils the name of Marteen Baert... 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. |

Hi! Thank you for your hard work! You've made awesome antennas! Yes, this is possible, but you will have to re-simulate the feed network, which is quite tricky. Just scaling it by a fixed factor won't be very accurate, especially for the hybrid variant. Quote: Yoppy
Hi Maarten, I have made several pieces of RHCP version of triple feed patch antenna. However, all of the antenna I make, center frequency is consistently at around 5.2-5.3 GHz. At 5.8 GHz, the S11 is around 19-14 dB. What would you suggest? Decrease the patch spacing? Yes, decreasing the space between the PCBs will increase the center frequency. Your jig may be inaccurate, maybe the spacing is already too high. Try measuring it with calipers. If that doesn't explain it, perhaps the manufacturer has switched to a different brand of FR4.

Hi, I've got an interesting application here. My son is a Precision Rifle Shooting competitor. So he needs to practice out to like 600 yards. What I've done is CAD'd up a case for an FPV camera and a 2W transmitter along with an FPV receiver/monitor. The camera will be down by the target and the receiver/monitor next to him. I picked up a pair of these patch antennas, and have one installed on the receiver and it works great. I just wanted to ask if it is safe to use the patch antenna on the transmitter as well. As the camera is static on a tripod, and can be aimed pretty decently towards the receiver as it is line of sight. So the question is, is it OK to use this antenna on a transmitter. Thanks.

Hello Maarten, Thanks for SSR, it is the only recorder I recommend. I run it on Kubuntu 20.04 and use it to sometimes record skype calls. The issue I have is that while SSR Records well the Video and Audio of my colleagues, it does not record my own audio. I use Pulse Audio and have the options to use either the "Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" or "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" I do not know what the difference is between them? If I select JACK I get the message: [JACKInput::Init] Error: Could not connect to JACK!

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 Dear Gabriel, |

Comment #14: Thu, 7 Mar 2024, 19:05 (GMT+1, DST) 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! |

Comment #18: Wed, 8 Nov 2023, 18:52 (GMT+1, DST) 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. |

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. Theoretically you could, but it would be impractically large (and expensive due to PCB cost). Last modified: Wed, 6 Sep 2023, 18:14 (GMT+1, DST) |

Comment #20: Tue, 1 Aug 2023, 2:58 (GMT+1, DST) 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? |

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. 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. |

Comment #28: Sat, 6 Aug 2022, 21:40 (GMT+1, DST) Recording with a UHD Monitor: 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. 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. Last modified: Sat, 6 Aug 2022, 21:47 (GMT+1, DST) |
