14dBi Pagoda Array

[Coyote]

Has anyone given these a blast ? They look like they should perform pretty well.



Center frequency: 5.8 GHz
Bandwidth: 660 MHz (5.47 – 6.13 GHz)
Matching: S11 < -30 dB, VSWR < 1.065
Axial ratio: 1.05(0.38dB)
Antenna gain: 14.4 dBi
Half power beam width: 30° (horizontal and vertical)
Radiation efficiency: 75%

The numbers look good, the pattern looks nice too, they are a little on the large size but compared to a helical antenna so much more practical to store and transport. I wonder if they match up to the helical performance in the real world ?

 I watched a U Tube clip of someone using one of these the other day....It was quite impressive for a CP antenna I thought.
  Ill look in my history...
