How to make tv antenna from coaxial cable using splitter we will have a directional yagi. We want to make the most of the materials.
We want to make the most of the materials we have at home to make a homemade antenna.I will show you how we can make an antenna using coaxial cable, a splitter tv and connectors for the cable
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED WE WILL LEAVE A LINK TO OBTAIN THE MEASURES WITH A DRAWING MADE IN AUTOCAD.
How to make tv antenna from coaxial cable “accessories”
1 ⇒ Coaxial cable for tv.
- You need to look for a coaxial cable to be able to build the antenna elements.
- We need about 1 meter of the coaxial cable tv.
2 ⇒ Splitter for tv.
- Look for a tv splitter from an old connection made by cable tv company.
- splitter data one input and two output.
- Preferably from 5 to 900 Mhz.
- We will use the same to place the dipoles of the antenna for home tv.
3 ⇒ RG connectors.
- We will use a pair of RG connectors for coaxial tv cable.
“TOOLS”: How to make tv antenna from coaxial cable
1 ⇒ Electric clamp
- Cutting tool to prepare the coaxial cable.
2 ⇒ Cutting blade
- Cutting utensil.
- With the blade we will cut the materials.
3 ⇒ Tape measure
- Instrument used to measure.
- Measure the coaxial cable.
HOW TO MAKE THE HOME ANTENNA FOR TV
1 ⇒ Cut the coaxial cable.
- Cut the coaxial cable in different parts, next we will offer you the amount of cut with its measurements.
- Perform two Coaxial Cable Cut, both 30 cm in length.
Cut the coaxial cable.
- Now ship the excess coaxial cable and cut two cables to a size of 20 cm each.
2 ⇒ Install RG connectors.
- We are going to place the two RG connectors on each end of the 30 cm coaxial cable.
- Use the cutting blade to strip the ends.
- Place the RG connectors.
3 ⇒ 30 cm coaxial cable.
- We will take the 30 cm coaxial cable.
- We measure from 15 cm from the RG connector and make a cut of the black cover, the mesh and dielectric.
- Carry out this operation with the other 30 cm coaxial cable.
- Home antenna for tv 15 cm
4 ⇒ Cut 30 cm coaxial cable.
- Now take the 30cm coaxial cable.
- We measure from 10 cm backwards from the cut looking for the RG connector.
- Cut the black cover only to find the mesh.
- Cut 2 similar pieces 2 mm wide.
- Home antenna for tv 10.0 cm
- Cortar 2 pedazos similares de 2 mm de ancho.
5 ⇒ Reflective coaxial cable of 20 cm.
- Select the 20 cm coaxial cable.
- We measure 5 cm of the cable.
- Cut and remove the cover and leave only the center conductor.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE HOME ANTENNA
1 ⇒ First.
- I take the prepared cable of 30 cm.
- Choose the 20 cm coaxial cable.
- Now find the cut line on the 30 cm cable and you should wind the end of the 20 cm cable cable that measures 5 cm.
- Roll it up tight and squeeze it should be at a 90 degree angle.
- This step is repeated with the other cable.
- View image.
- Reflector coaxial cable
2 ⇒ Second step.
- We take the coaxial cable and we are going to bend the bare central conductor.
- Now we verify the measurement of 15 cm.
- You should use the electric clamp.
- With the clamp we bend the cable 90 degrees, towards the reflector.
- We perform the same step with the other 30 cm cable.
3 ⇒ Splitter and antenna for home tv.
- Finally we place both dipole of the homemade tv antenna in the tv splitter.
- We screw both RG connectors into the outlet.
- Now we can test our antenna.
