Turnigy (FlySky, etc.) 9X Antenna Booster for 8/9.5mm Stepped Shaft

thingiverse

This Reflector Boosts Radio Range Using a Simple yet Effective Design. It's Compatible with Any Round Antenna Featuring Stepped Diameters in Its Shaft. You May Need to Clean Out the Top and Bottom Holes (8mm and 9.5mm Respectively) for Smooth Installation. The Concept Behind This Device Is to Directly Refract Radio Waves Forward, Potentially Enhancing the Signal Strength and Range. After Examining Other Range-Boosting Solutions, I'm Convinced That Most Designs Are Flawed. In a Standard Antenna, the Actual Radiating Element Is Significantly Shorter Than Its Overall Length. For Example, at 2.4Ghz Frequency, the Active Part of the Antenna Is Approximately 31mm Long and Ends Where the Shaft Meets the Reflector. Given This Understanding, I've Designed the Reflector to Sit Directly Behind the Radiating Element Rather Than Below It, Maximizing Its Potential Impact on Radio Wave Propagation. Today, I Plan to Put This Theory to the Test by Conducting Range-Boosting Experiments.
