External dual powerful antennas, M wireless rate, provide more stable, faster, stronger penetrating signals, and more extensive coverage. Compliant with IEEE Dual channel to ensure high-speed transmission. Compliant with international EMI standards. Supports bridge repeater and router repeater mode. Reply 4 years ago. Pure genius. These dongles typically provide just enough range to be used on a laptop sitting a few cm from the peripheral.

This mod makes it possible to have a strong signal even with the dongle plugged in the back of a PC sitting under a desk.

Question 3 years ago on Step 5. Hi, Thanks for this guide. Have you choosed to solder the antenna at 90deg from the PCB for any rf reason?

PCB acting as ground plate? Any reason you choosed to go quarter length and not half length or full length? Answer 2 years ago. Look at a sine wave. Is there an optimal gauge size for the solid core copper wire antenna?

Since the length of the wire is important and your calculations are precise to the mm, it would seem as though the wire gauge might also have an impact on performance. Thanks for the great post! Well whaddya know Amazing what a little theory does. Now I've got about 5 metres! I did accidentally pull up the remainder of the trace but my solder joint held.

A little dab of hot glue should hold it firm. Also, don't bother picking out all the existing antenna, simply make a wide cut in front of where you will solder and the antenna is not connected anymore.

I appreciate the formula for calculating antenna length but I have a few questions. You place a lot of emphasis on the correct length of the antenna but what about the conductor and wiring leading to the antenna?

If you solder a 30mm length of wire to a 4mm remnant of the old antenna, doesn't that leave you with a 34mm antenna? And then, what if you folded the wire into a fractal shape. Should a fractal antenna be made from the 30mm wire or should the final antenna be 30mm across? Reply 5 years ago. I have bought 6 bluetooth audio receivers and I would like to increase their range, although when I open them, they seem to have printed their antennas inbetween layers of the PCB. Is there a way to increase it anyhow?

My range was about 8 feets, now I cover the house.
