How do you make a 433mhz antenna?
The 433MHz Dipole Antenna has a 32x6mm flexible PCB board size, 2dBi common gain, its small size, and flex circuit board very suitable for the curve inside surface of the IoT & M2M devices. Advantages and disadvantages of 433MHZ frequency Initially, the frequency range of 430.050 ~ 440.000 MHz was allocated to amateur radio services worldwide.
Can dipoles be used on 433mhz?
- Hugues and a few other folk have been looking at using dipoles on 433MHz, I presume this to be the telemetry or RCS radio frequencies used by them. I have been playing with some concepts here to try come up with a repeatable implementation with reasonable performance.
What is a V dipole antenna?
- The V Dipole is made with a 1.4 wave section of the same coax serving as a balun to suppress the common mode coax currents. It is seen as the parallel section in the photo at the beginning of this blog. here the antenna is taped to a tall block of polystyrene, which does not affect the antenna characteristics, while taking measurements.
What type of antenna should be used for a V-form?
- The idea is to use a vertically orientated sleeve dipole on the ground as this could be housed in a plastic tube with the radio connector at the base of the tube. On the aircraft such an antenna is rather unwieldy since it is around 400 to 500mm tall, so a conventional dipole coaxed into a V form is suggested.
How do you make a 433mhz antenna?How do you make a 433mhz antenna?
You can build good 433mhz dipole antennas really easy. Get a SMA to SMA cable (assuming that's the connector on your tx/rx) and cut the coax in the middle (so you can make 2 antennas) then you can solder some up. 433mhz is used a lot in the FPV community so there's lots of info on making them.
What are the measurements for building a simple dipole antenna?What are the measurements for building a simple dipole antenna?
The measurements below are for building a simple Dipole Antenna. The Wire Size can range from 16 AWG to 12 AWG. The larger the wire, the wider the bandwidth. The antenna is designed to be fed with 50 or 75 Ohm Coax Cable of most any length with a Balun.

What size wire do I need for a balanced antenna?What size wire do I need for a balanced antenna?
The Wire Size can range from 16 AWG to 12 AWG. The larger the wire, the wider the bandwidth. The antenna is designed to be fed with 50 or 75 Ohm Coax Cable of most any length with a Balun. Place a 1:1 Balun on the Antenna end of the Feedline. The Balun matches the Balanced Antenna into the Unbalanced Coax Cable.
