Figure 1-18 shows the relative length for an N-Male connector. After trimming back the core, remove any ridges or burrs around the cut edge. This will allow the pin to seat properly. Step 8: Inserting the Center Pin Place the center pin onto the conductor as shown in Figure 1-19. Ensure the center conductor bottoms out at the first stop of the pin. Also, ensure the pin rests within 1–2 mm of the foam dielectric. Chapter 1 — Building Your Own Wi-Fi Antenna Cable FIGURE 1-19: Placing the center pin onto the conductor.

However, when you go above or below the antenna, signal strength drops off significantly. The trade-off you make when choosing a high-gain antenna is this focusing, or thinning, of the above and below energy. The low-gain omni works better vertically than a high-gain omni, but it won’t extend as far horizontally. Figure 2-2 shows a diagram of two antennas viewed from the top. The directional antenna is most sensitive in one direction, meaning signals being sent and received by the antenna will be strongest in the direction the antenna is pointing.

If forced or yanked, it may come off, so be gentle. Figure 1-22 shows the connector fully inserted with the shield still pulled back. Notice that the center pin does not extend past the inner ring of the connector. Step 11: Shields Up! Fan out the shield strands and trim down with scissors, as shown in Figure 1-23. To help cleanup, hold the cable over a wastebasket. The goal is to trim down the shield but still have enough to fit under the crimp ring. Trim the shield down to about a quarter of an inch.
