usb adapter cantenna
I would like to build a cantenna that uses a usb adapter as the active element so that I can avoid the problem of losses in a long run of coax cable and just use cat5 instead. But I haven't been able to find much info on best dimensions and usb adapter placement within the can. What is the best diameter can and how long should it be? Should the usb adapter poke through the back of the can in the middle or into the side of the can like in a regular cantenna? If through the side, how far from the back of the can?
I plan to use an inexpensive Zonet ZEW2501 usb adapter.
Has anyone built something similar and how did it perform?
Thanks for any help.
