[amsat-bb] Re: Gain VS Bandwidth at 2.4GHZ

[Greg D.]

Hi Don,

Perhaps use a design such as a Lindenblad or a Quadrifillar Helix; you don't have enough space to put one on the laptop, so it's got to go on the AP.  

Of course, you lose 3db going circular->linear.  Maybe that's the problem.  They'd rather double the radios and put one vertical, and the other horizontal (or put 3 in there with 802.11n)...
