This is the Pagoda antenna, designed by Maarten Baert. When designing these antenna, Maarten had a few key features that he wanted to make sure were present in his antenna. These were:
- Good omnidirectional radiation pattern.
- Good axial ratio.
- Reasonably small.
- Easy to manufacture within fine tolerances at low cost, even for a hobbyist.
And guess what? He succeeded! The Pagoda antenna offers every hobbyist all of the above at a very reasonable price. We offer four antenna types for the Pagoda to suit every need: RHCP (both SMA and RP-SMA) and LHCP (both SMA and RP-SMA).
For more detail, check out our guide on why the Pagoda-2 antenna is so good.
