DIY patch antenna - DIY Drones. Hi everyone,I subscribed to answer (shortly) to this question and because I really like reading your stories with home- made UAVs. I intend to start a small project on my own when i'll be finished with writing my Ph. D manuscript. But enough about me. Remembering my antenna courses (4 years ago), the dimensions of a basic rectangular patch antenna are : 3*lambda/4 x lambda/2 or, to be clear, 0. In your case, f=5. GHz, the rectangular patch will be 3. I have to warn you that a patch antenna is pretty tough to design : especially for tuning, feeding and building it. I think you'll suffer detuning if you build it on a substrate with high relative permittivity. I'm not sure if the following formula works for patch antennas but you want to adjust the actual wavelength (awl) depending on the relative permittivity (epsilon) of your substrate : awl = lambda * sqrt(epsilon), to be verified. Also, the way you will feed the patch might change the radiation pattern and the input impedance, but I guess it doesn't really matter for an amateur antenna. If you need some more information, I can have a look in my notes. Sorry I don't have the time to put it online (for now). Compare helical antenna with patch antenna for 5.8Ghz FPV system.
