L-Band Satallite
Antenna

    A while back, I picked up what I believe is the TP-Link TL-ANT2424B directional WiFi antenna. It’s a 2.4GHz grid parabolic antenna.

    I bought it used and did not realise it was missing the feed-point reflector - the small assembly where the signal is actually focused.

    Rather than write it off, I decided to take a shot at building my own replacement, with the intention of eventually tuning the antenna to recieve transmissions from L-band satellites.

    I created a 3D-printed enclosure around the antenna itself and used aluminum plate to make the feed-point reflector.

    Right now, it's a bit of a work in progress. I haven’t tested the performance with any proper RF tools yet, but I plan to do some testing to see how well it works in practice.
