About this model
This an attempt to create a foldable 1/4 wave ground plane antenna for frequency range 120 - 470 MHz. The range of the frequency depends on how much do you stretch the antennas. After unfolding six of antennas it keeps the 135 degrees angle between the vertical monopole and radials. This means that it has 50Ω impedance. The construction does not need soldering. It is designed to be printed WITHOUT any support. Use PET filament, 20% infill if you're planning to handle it gently or 100% (or even try to remelt in salt) in any other case :) To connect the cable you need to strip at least 15 cm of the shield and thread it through the side hole from the bottom and connect all six radials with mounting screws around one after another . The center cable needs to be threaded via the center hole upw…
