When transmitting a signal outside the home the cable configuration needed on the antenna side is an N-Male since the antenna has an N-Female connector.Remember that your receiver will not “see” the signal if outside of the cone. When pointing the signal indoors the best location is a corner room and point in to radiate the signal within the home as much as possible.Make sure the proper connectors are in place.We make all our Yagi Cantennas on our factory floor in Miami FL.

Our Yagi Cantennas have been tested in laboratories at 14.3 dBi gain and have a signal coverage cone of 31 degrees.

*(AWC refers to the low loss cables and varying thickness of coaxial cable brand) We decided to place our Yagis in protective housings or tubes to protect the connections inside from the elements or whatever you can throw at it. The signal travels to and from the base of the Yagi through coaxial cable AWC* type for signal loss reduction and connects to the USB adapter (SMA connector) or router (Usually TNC connector). Our Yagi Cantennas are built with 16 rods or elements from end to end. For the purpose of this tutorial we can forget about everything else and focus on the 2.4GHz frequency in which WiFi works on. By playing with the locations and sizes of the rods the antenna works on different frequencies. This is due mostly to the basic design of the antenna which is a main element with rods placed perpendicular from end to end. The Yagi antenna is the most popular type of directional antenna in use today.
