RTL-SDR Blog Multipurpose Dipole Antenna Set

RTL-SDR Blog Multipurpose Dipole antenna set. Can be used as a simple starters antenna for many radio projects. Use either in a vertical orientation for terrestrial signals, or in a V-Dipole configuration for satellite signals.

• 1x dipole antenna base with 60cm RG174 cable and SMA Male connector. This is the dipole base where the telescopic antennas connect to. The short run of RG174 is decoupled from the base elements with a ferrite choke. This helps to prevent the feed line from interfering with the dipole radiation pattern. On the inside of the base the two dipole element sides are connected with a 100 kOhm resistor to help bleed off any static. The dipole has a 1/4 inch female screw on the bottom, which allows you to use standard camera mount products for mounting.
• 1x 3 meter RG174 coax cable extension. This coax cable extension allows you to place the antennas in a place that gets better reception. E.g. outside on a window, or higher up.
• 2x 23cm to 1m telescopic antennas. The telescopic dipoles are detachable from the dipole base via a M5 thread which allows for greater portability and the ability to swap them out. These long telescopic antennas cover VHF and to UHF.
• 2x 5cm to 13cm telescopic antennas. These smaller antennas cover UHF to 1090 MHz ADS-B, and even still work decently up to L-band 1.5 GHz frequencies.
• 1x flexible Tripod mount with 1/4" male screw. This mount allows you to mount the dipole on a variety of different locations. E.g. a pole, tree branch, desk, door, window sill. The legs of the tripod are bendy and rubberized so can wrap securely around many objects.
• 1x suction cup mount with 1/4" male screw. With this mount you can mount the dipole on the outside of a window, on a wall, car roof/window, or on any other smooth surface. To use first clean the surface with window cleaner or isopropyl alochol. Then place the suction cup on the cleaned surface and close the lever to activate the suction.
