    This document provides instructions for building a simple ground plane antenna using a connector with a square flange, such as an N-type, BNC, or UHF connector. The antenna consists of a center radiator element cut to the proper length based on the desired frequency, soldered to the connector. Four radial elements are soldered around the radiator, spaced 90 degrees apart and 5% longer than the radiator. The completed antenna can then be connected via cable to a transmitter or receiver.

    SQUARE FLANGE

    N,BNC,UHF Types are


    useable

    Using 1/16 to 1/8 dia.


    brass rod or welding
    cccc rod, solder four radials
    ccc as shown. Radials
    should be cut to length
    of radiator plus 5% and
    spaced 90 degrees as
    shown

    90
    Solder radiator cut to
    L (feet) =234 / F mHz deg
    proper length L for
    frequency desired, to
    L center pin of connector
    Use same material as
    radials Top
