Homemade loop antenna. What types of antennas are there? The simplest homemade antenna. DIY TV antenna for digital television

Digital technologies are already sweeping the country, and many are trying to buy TVs that support this format. But if this is not possible, there is another way out - making the antenna yourself. With a little theoretical and practical training, almost anyone can do this.

How to make it yourself dvb - antenna

Digital technologies involve the transmission of images and sound through digital video encodings. It differs from analog equipment in that interference practically does not interfere with the signal, so it arrives at the receiver device with minimal losses.

Today there are already 20 channels of this type. To be able to connect to it, it is not necessary to have special equipment. In this case, we are talking about receiving a high-quality signal, for which it will be enough to have a television cable. It is also called coaxial.

To receive a digital signal you need a decimeter antenna. It’s very easy to do it yourself – you only need an antenna cable. But the main thing is not to make mistakes in the calculations. The procedure is as follows:

  1. Take a 30 cm antenna cable and connectors (male/female and F-connector).
  2. Prepare wire cutters, a tape measure (at worst, a ruler), a knife and a calculator.
  3. Next you will need a computer with an Internet connection. On the digital television website, find a coverage map of dvb channels, determine which one is closest to your city. There is a search form there.
  4. Find a station, find out the detailed frequencies on which it operates.
  5. Several channels and frequencies for them may be indicated there. The antenna length is calculated by dividing 7500 by the frequency. For example, if the channel frequency is 754 MHz, the result is 7500:754=9.94. Thus, it turns out that a homemade dvb antenna should be about 10 cm long. If there are several stations, the average length is determined.
  6. You need to attach the F-connector to the end of the antenna wire yourself. It's easy - the cable is stripped and the connector is screwed on top. It is necessary that there is a central wire in the middle, and the foil with the wires is at the attachment point.
  7. Then step back a few centimeters from the connector, then measure another 10 and cut off what is unnecessary.
  8. The plastic insulation and “screen” (wires with foil) are removed from the remaining cable, and the antenna is ready. Now the question is connecting it.

There is another manufacturing method, which is also simple and requires a minimum of available materials: a board approximately 550x70 mm, self-tapping screws, copper wire (40 cm in length, central core 4 mm in diameter). A blank is made from wood. 8 wires, each 375 mm long, stripped in the middle by approximately 30 mm, thus ensuring good conditions for signal reception. Then you need to cut two wires 220 mm long, and clean the joints according to the size of the board. The remaining wires are bent in a “V” shape.

A special plug connects the antenna and cable (the plug can be purchased separately). The wire is secured to the plug with a tabletop soldering iron. The homemade antenna is ready.

The third method will require:


A small cut is made in the cable sheath, 10 cm from the edge, twist the covering “foil”, cutting off the middle layer by 10 mm.

At the opposite end, install a plug to connect to the TV. A cable is attached to one of the cans, the middle of the wire is screwed to the second, and the best method is soldering; tape is unreliable.


Fix the cans in a straight line on the trempel at a distance of approximately 7-8 cm. Now the device needs to be fixed in the place where the television signal is most clearly received. True, such a device will not be able to pick up many channels, maximum 10.

Feature and dvb connections -antennas

The difficulty may be to find a point in the apartment where the digital television signal would be best received.
Then sometimes problems arise with inserting the antenna into the set-top box or TV. Options - for example, first insert an extension cord into the console, and then insert the cable into it. At the same time, it should not disturb anyone; ideally, it is generally better to hide it somehow.

Self-made structures of this kind, apparently, do not take much time. So for about 100-400 rubles you can build a digital television device of the dvb standard with your own hands. According to reviews, it works even better than various expensive telescopic devices. True, only for digital TV of one frequency. Not suitable for analog. A high-quality image can be obtained provided that a powerful transmitting station is located no further than 30 km. True, sometimes the distance is reduced even to the range of 5-10 km.

Features of dvb reception


There are also homemade ways to strengthen the signal, especially if the terrain or a large distance from the transmitter (50-100 km) does not allow you to get good digital TV reception. For a high-altitude external antenna, you will need to install a board, and any two-transistor one with a low or medium gain will do. Powerful amplifiers are not required in this case, since the signal is quite distorted.

Despite the rapid development of satellite and cable television, the reception of terrestrial television broadcasts still remains relevant, for example, for places of seasonal residence. It is not at all necessary to buy a finished product for this purpose; a home UHF antenna can be assembled with your own hands. Before moving on to considering the designs, we will briefly explain why this particular range of the television signal was chosen.

Why DMV?

There are two good reasons to choose designs of this type:

  1. The thing is that most channels are broadcast in this range, since the design of repeaters is simplified, and this makes it possible to install a larger number of unattended low-power transmitters and thereby expand the coverage area.
  2. This range is selected for digital broadcasting.

Indoor TV antenna “Rhombus”

This simple, but at the same time, reliable design was one of the most common in the heyday of broadcast television.

Rice. 1. The simplest homemade Z-antenna, known under the names: “Rhombus”, “Square” and “People’s Zigzag”

As can be seen from the sketch (B Fig. 1), the device is a simplified version of the classic zigzag (Z-design). To increase sensitivity, it is recommended to equip it with capacitive inserts (“1” and “2”), as well as a reflector (“A” in Fig. 1). If the signal level is quite acceptable, this is not necessary.

The material you can use is aluminum, copper, and brass tubes or strips 10-15 mm wide. If you plan to install the structure outdoors, it is better to abandon aluminum, since it is susceptible to corrosion. Capacitive inserts are made of foil, tin or metal mesh. After installation, they are soldered along the circuit.

The cable is laid as shown in the figure, namely: it did not have sharp bends and did not leave the side insert.

UHF antenna with amplifier

In places where a powerful relay tower is not located in relative proximity, you can raise the signal level to an acceptable value using an amplifier. Below is a schematic diagram of a device that can be used with almost any antenna.


Rice. 2. Antenna amplifier circuit for the UHF range

List of elements:

  • Resistors: R1 – 150 kOhm; R2 – 1 kOhm; R3 – 680 Ohm; R4 – 75 kOhm.
  • Capacitors: C1 – 3.3 pF; C2 – 15 pF; C3 – 6800 pF; C4, C5, C6 – 100 pF.
  • Transistors: VT1, VT2 – GT311D (can be replaced with: KT3101, KT3115 and KT3132).

Inductance: L1 – is a frameless coil with a diameter of 4 mm, wound with copper wire Ø 0.8 mm (2.5 turns must be made); L2 and L3 are high-frequency chokes 25 µH and 100 µH, respectively.

If the circuit is assembled correctly, we will get an amplifier with the following characteristics:

  • bandwidth from 470 to 790 MHz;
  • gain and noise factors – 30 and 3 dB, respectively;
  • the value of the output and input resistance of the device corresponds to the RG6 cable - 75 Ohm;
  • the device consumes about 12-14 mA.

Let's pay attention to the method of power supply; it is carried out directly through the cable.

This amplifier can work with the simplest designs made from improvised means.

Indoor antenna made from beer cans

Despite the unusual design, it is quite functional, since it is a classic dipole, especially since the dimensions of a standard can are perfectly suitable for the arms of a decimeter range vibrator. If the device is installed in a room, then in this case it is not even necessary to coordinate with the cable, provided that it is not longer than two meters.


Designations:

  • A - two cans with a volume of 500 mg (if you take tin and not aluminum, you can solder the cable instead of using screws).
  • B – places where the cable shielding is attached.
  • C – central vein.
  • D – place of fastening of the central core
  • E – cable coming from the TV.

The arms of this exotic dipole must be mounted on a holder made of any insulating material. As such, you can use improvised things, for example, a plastic clothes hanger, a mop bar or a piece of wooden beam of appropriate size. The distance between the shoulders is from 1 to 8 cm (selected empirically).

The main advantages of the design are fast production (10 - 20 minutes) and quite acceptable picture quality, provided there is sufficient signal power.

Making an antenna from copper wire

There is a design that is much simpler than the previous version, which only requires a piece of copper wire. We are talking about a narrow band loop antenna. This solution has undoubted advantages, since in addition to its main purpose, the device plays the role of a selective filter that reduces interference, which allows you to confidently receive a signal.


Fig.4. A simple UHF loop antenna for receiving digital TV

For this design, you need to calculate the length of the loop; to do this, you need to find out the frequency of the “digit” for your region. For example, in St. Petersburg it is broadcast on 586 and 666 MHz. The calculation formula will be as follows: L R = 300/f, where L R is the length of the loop (the result is presented in meters), and f is the average frequency range, for St. Petersburg this value will be 626 (the sum of 586 and 666 divided by 2). Now we calculate L R, 300/626 = 0.48, which means the length of the loop should be 48 centimeters.

If you take a thick RG-6 cable with braided foil, it can be used instead of copper wire to make a loop.

Now let's tell you how the structure is assembled:

  • A piece of copper wire (or RG6 cable) with a length equal to L R is measured and cut.
  • A loop of suitable diameter is folded, after which a cable leading to the receiver is soldered to its ends. If RG6 is used instead of copper wire, then the insulation from its ends is first removed, approximately 1-1.5 cm (the central core does not need to be cleaned, it is not involved in the process).
  • The loop is installed on the stand.
  • An F connector (plug) is screwed onto the cable to the receiver.

Note that despite the simplicity of the design, it is most effective for receiving “digits”, provided that the calculations are carried out correctly.

Do-it-yourself MV and UHF indoor antenna

If, in addition to UHF, there is a desire to receive MF, you can assemble a simple multiwave oven, its drawing with dimensions is presented below.

To amplify the signal, this design uses a ready-made SWA 9 unit; if you have problems purchasing it, you can use a home-made device, the diagram of which was shown above (see Fig. 2).

It is important to maintain the angle between the petals; going beyond the specified range significantly affects the quality of the “picture”.

Despite the fact that such a device is much simpler than a log-periodic design with a wave channel, it nevertheless shows good results if the signal is of sufficient power.

DIY figure eight antenna for digital TV

Let's consider another common design option for receiving “digits”. It is based on the classic scheme for the UHF range, which, because of its shape, is called “Figure Eight” or “Zigzag”.


Rice. 6. Sketch and implementation of the digital eight

Design dimensions:

  • outer sides of the diamond (A) – 140 mm;
  • inner sides (B) – 130 mm;
  • distance to the reflector (C) – from 110 to 130 mm;
  • width (D) – 300 mm;
  • the pitch between the rods (E) is from 8 to 25 mm.

The cable connection location is at points 1 and 2. The material requirements are the same as for the “Rhombus” design, which was described at the beginning of the article.

Homemade antenna for DBT T2

Actually, all of the examples listed above are capable of receiving DBT T2, but for variety we will present a sketch of another design, popularly called “Butterfly”.


The material can be used as plates made of copper, brass, aluminum or duralumin. If the structure is planned to be installed outdoors, then the last two options are not suitable.

Bottom line: which option to choose?

Oddly enough, the simplest option is the most effective, so the “loop” is best suited for receiving a “digit” (Fig. 4). But, if you need to receive other channels in the UHF range, then it is better to stick with “Zigzag” (Fig. 6).

The antenna for the TV should be directed towards the nearest active repeater, in order to select the desired position, you should rotate the structure until the signal strength is satisfactory.

If, despite the presence of an amplifier and reflector, the quality of the “picture” leaves much to be desired, you can try installing the structure on a mast.


In this case, it is necessary to install lightning protection, but this is a topic for another article.

In summer cottages, a television signal can rarely be received without amplification: it is too far from the repeater, the terrain is usually non-uniform, and trees get in the way. For normal “picture” quality, antennas are needed. Anyone who knows at least a little how to handle a soldering iron can make an antenna for their dacha with their own hands. Outside the city, aesthetics are not given so much importance; the main thing is quality of reception, simple design, low cost and reliability. You can experiment and do it yourself.

Simple TV antenna

If the repeater is located within 30 km from your dacha, you can make the simplest receiving part in design. These are two identical tubes connected to each other by a cable. The cable output is fed to the corresponding TV input.

The design of an antenna for a TV in the country: it’s very easy to do it yourself (to enlarge the size of the picture, click on it with the left mouse button)

What is needed to make this TV antenna?

First of all, you need to find out what frequency the nearest TV tower is broadcasting on. The length of the “whiskers” depends on the frequency. The broadcast band is in the range of 50-230 MHz. It is divided into 12 channels. Each requires its own length of tubes. A list of terrestrial television channels, their frequencies and parameters of a television antenna for self-production is given in the table.

Channel numberChannel frequencyVibrator length - from one end to the other end of the tubes, cmCable length for matching device, L1/L2 cm

11 215.25 MHz69 cm68 cm / 23 cm
12 223.25 MHz66 cm66 cm / 22 cm

So, in order to make a TV antenna with your own hands, you need the following materials:


It would be nice to have a soldering iron, flux for soldering copper and solder on hand: it is advisable to solder all connections of the central conductors: the image quality will be better and the antenna will work longer. The soldering areas then need to be protected from oxidation: it is best to fill it with a layer of silicone, or you can use epoxy resin, etc. As a last resort, seal it with electrical tape, but this is very unreliable.

Even a child can make this homemade antenna for a TV, even at home. You need to cut the tube to the length that corresponds to the broadcast frequency of a nearby repeater, then saw it exactly in half.

Assembly order

The resulting tubes are flattened on one side. With these ends they are attached to a holder - a piece of getinax or textolite 4-6 mm thick (see picture). The tubes are placed at a distance of 6-7 cm from each other, their far ends should be at the distance indicated in the table. They are secured to the holder with clamps; they must hold firmly.

The installed vibrator is fixed to the mast. Now you need to connect the two “whiskers” through a matching device. This is a cable loop with a resistance of 75 Ohms (type RK-1, 3, 4). Its parameters are indicated in the far right column of the table, and how it is done is on the right side of the photo.

The middle cores of the cable are screwed (soldered) to the flattened ends of the tubes, and their braid is connected with a piece of the same conductor. Getting the wire is simple: cut a piece from the cable slightly larger than the required size and remove all the sheaths. Clean the ends and screw them to the cable conductors (it’s better to solder them).

Then the central conductors from two pieces of the matching loop and the cable that goes to the TV are connected. Their braid is also connected with copper wire.

Last step: the loop in the middle is attached to the rod, and the cable going down is screwed to it. The barbell is raised to the required height and “adjusted” there. To set up, you need two people: one turns the antenna, the second watches TV and evaluates the picture quality. Having determined where the signal is best received from, the home-made antenna is fixed in this position. To avoid having to struggle with “tuning” for a long time, take a look at where your neighbors’ receivers (over-the-air antennas) are pointing. The simplest antenna for a summer residence is made with your own hands. Set and “catch” the direction by turning it along its axis.

Watch the video on how to cut a coaxial cable.

Loop from a pipe

This do-it-yourself antenna for a summer residence is a little more difficult to manufacture: you need a pipe bender, but the reception radius is larger - up to 40 km. The starting materials are almost the same: metal tube, cable and rod.

The bend radius of the pipe is not important. It is necessary that the pipe has the required length, and the distance between the ends is 65-70 mm. Both “wings” should be the same length, and the ends should be symmetrical about the center.

The length of the pipe and cable is indicated in the table. Find out what frequency the repeater closest to you is broadcasting on, select the appropriate line. Saw off a pipe of the required size (diameter is preferably 12-18 mm, the parameters of the matching loop are given for them).

Assembly

The tube of the required length is bent, making it absolutely symmetrical relative to the center. One edge of it is flattened and welded/sealed. Fill with sand and seal the other side. If there is no welding, you can plug the ends, just attach the plugs to good glue or silicone.

The resulting vibrator is mounted on a mast (rod). The central conductors of the matching loop and the cable that goes to the TV are screwed to the ends of the pipe, and then soldered. The next step is to connect a piece of copper wire without insulation to the braided cables. The assembly is complete - you can start “setting up”.

Beer can antenna

Even though it doesn't look serious, the image becomes much better. Tested many times. Try it!

Outdoor antenna made from beer cans


We collect it like this:

  1. We drill a hole (5-6 mm in diameter) in the bottom of the jar strictly in the center.
  2. We pull the cable through this hole and take it out through the hole in the cover.
  3. We fix this can on the left on the holder so that the cable is directed to the middle.
  4. We pull the cable out of the can by about 5-6 cm, remove the insulation by about 3 cm, and disassemble the braid.
  5. We trim the braid, its length should be about 1.5 cm.
  6. We distribute it over the surface of the can and solder it.
  7. The central conductor sticking out 3 cm needs to be soldered to the bottom of the second can.
  8. The distance between the two banks must be made as small as possible and fixed in some way. One option is duct tape or duct tape.
  9. That's it, the homemade UHF antenna is ready.

Terminate the second end of the cable with a suitable plug and plug it into the required socket on the TV. This design, by the way, can be used to receive digital television. If your TV supports this signal format (DVB T2) or has a special set-top box for your old TV, you can receive a signal from the nearest repeater. You just need to find out where it is and point your television antenna there, made with your own hands from tin cans.

Simple homemade antennas can be made from tin cans (beer or beverage cans). Despite the frivolity of the “components,” it works very well and is very easy to manufacture

The same design can be adapted to receive VHF channels. Instead of 0.5 liter jars, use 1 liter jars. Will receive MV band.

Another option: if you don’t have a soldering iron, or you don’t know how to solder, you can do it easier. Tie two cans at a distance of several centimeters to the holder. Strip the end of the cable by 4-5 centimeters (carefully remove the insulation). You separate the braid, twist it into a bundle, and make a ring out of it, into which you insert a self-tapping screw. Make a second ring from the central conductor and thread a second screw through it. Now at the bottom of one can you clean out (with sandpaper) a spot to which you screw the screws.

In fact, for better contact, soldering is needed: it is better to tin and solder the braid ring, as well as the point of contact with the metal of the can. But it also works well with self-tapping screws, however, the contact periodically oxidizes and needs to be cleaned. When it starts snowing you will know why...

DIY digital TV antenna

The antenna design is frame. For this version of the receiving device you will need a cross made of wooden boards and a television cable. You will also need electrical tape and a few nails. All.

We have already said that to receive a digital signal you only need a decimeter terrestrial antenna and a corresponding decoder. It can be built into televisions (new generation) or made as a separate device. If the TV has the function of receiving a signal in the DVB T2 code, connect the antenna output directly to the TV. If your TV does not have a decoder, you will need to purchase a digital set-top box and connect the antenna output to it, and connect it to the TV.

How to decide on a channel and calculate the perimeter of the frames

Russia has adopted a program according to which towers are constantly being built. By the end of 2015, the entire territory should be covered by repeaters. On the official website http://xn--p1aadc.xn--p1ai/when/ find the tower closest to you. The broadcast frequency and channel number are indicated there. The perimeter of the antenna frame depends on the channel number.

For example, channel 37 broadcasts at a frequency of 602 MHz. The wavelength is calculated as follows: 300 / 602 = 50 cm. This will be the perimeter of the frame. Let's calculate the other channel in the same way. Let it be channel 22. Frequency 482 MHz, wavelength 300 / 482 = 62 cm.

Since this antenna consists of two frames, the length of the conductor should be equal to twice the wavelength, plus 5 cm for the connection:

  • for channel 37 we take 105 cm of copper wire (50 cm * 2 + 5 cm = 105 cm);
  • for channel 22 you need 129 cm (62 cm * 2 + 5 cm = 129 cm).

Assembly

It is best to use copper wire from the cable that will then go to the receiver. That is, you take the cable and remove the sheath and braid from it, freeing the central conductor of the required length. Be careful not to damage it.

  • for channel 37: 50 cm / 4 = 12.5 cm;
  • for channel 22: 62 cm / 4 = 15.5 cm.

The distance from one nail to another must correspond to these parameters. Laying copper wire begins on the right, from the middle, moving down and further to all points. Only in the place where the frames come close to each other, do not short-circuit the conductors. They should be at some distance (2-4 cm).

When the entire perimeter is laid, the braid from a cable several centimeters long is twisted into a bundle and soldered (wound if soldering is not possible) to the opposite edge of the frame. Next, the cable is laid as shown in the figure, wrapping it with electrical tape (more often, but the laying route cannot be changed). The cable then goes to the decoder (separate or built-in). The DIY antenna for your dacha for receiving digital television is ready.

How to make an antenna for digital television with your own hands - another design - is shown in the video.

Today, almost all homes are connected to cable or satellite television, and almost all channels are in good quality. But what to do if you are just renting an apartment? This is where a homemade antenna for digital television will come to the rescue - as a reliable and inexpensive alternative to the factory one. Read on to see how it is done.

To make this device, you will have to use 550 by 70 mm plywood, several self-tapping screws, and a forty-centimeter copper wire 40 cm long (the central core is 4 mm in diameter).

The base of the product is a board. Next, cut 8 pieces of wire, the length of which is 375 mm, while they should be stripped in the center by 20-30 mm. This is necessary to ensure good contact in signal transmission.

Now, cut out 2 wires, the length of which is 220 mm and, based on the dimensions of the board, they should be cleaned where the connections will be. After this, the remaining wires (eight pieces) need to be bent so that they acquire a “V” shape.

An antenna for digital television is absolutely no different from a regular decimeter antenna.

First, you should start purchasing a special plug, after which it should connect the antenna and cable. This is easy enough. Using a benchtop soldering iron, the plug is attached to the wire. This cable is installed over the bottom connection of the instrument. At this stage, the production of the antenna can be considered completed. It is already ready to be turned on.

An antenna for digital television is absolutely no different from a regular decimeter antenna.

The second method of making a digital television antenna from cans

Here, we will not use a ready-made device as a basis. The device will be completely assembled from available materials. A homemade antenna for digital television is made using:

  • wooden trempel;
  • adhesive tape or tape;
  • soldering iron;
  • two tin cans;
  • several meters of wire (about 3-5 m);
  • plugs.

First, you need to modify the standard television cable. To do this, you need to slightly cut its soft shell. Under the shell you will see a silvery “foil”. This material covers the cable in several layers. For this reason, in order to see the wire itself, you will have to cut about 10 cm from the edge. After this, you should twist the foil layer in order to make a sample of its middle layer by about 10 mm. The reverse end of the cord is equipped with a plug used to connect to the TV.

We're done with the cable, the banks are next. If we talk about sizes, then a tin container with a volume of 750-1000 mm is enough to receive a digital signal. The end of the wire with the “foil” is attached to one can (otherwise, the display of channels will be incorrect). The cable core is screwed onto the second can. It is preferable to connect the cable and cans by soldering. If the wire is secured with tape, most likely the product will not work.

The only option for using such material is when the cans are installed on top of the trempel. However, here too one cannot deviate from the technology of application. Namely, the arrangement of the cans should form a straight line. Tin containers should be located at a distance of about 7-8 cm from one another.

That's all, the homemade antenna for digital television is ready. Now you can start searching for a suitable signal and securing your device. Such an antenna will allow you to view several channels, up to 10-15, if the signal is not password protected.

Video: homemade antenna for digital television

If you plan to receive only analog channels, then you will need a mast 4.5-6 meters high, on which you will need to attach 3 band antennas. It is believed that this is a rather “expensive pleasure”, because... You can’t do this without a specialist. If you are immediately focused on simple and convenient reception of high-quality digital broadcasting (DVB-T2), then you will only need 1 UHF antenna, because Broadcasting of DVB-T2 digital packages (multiplexes) is carried out only in the UHF range, and in the package itself all channels of all other ranges are already broadcast.
Currently in Moscow, digital terrestrial broadcasting DVB-T2 is carried out on the following channels: 30 (multiplex 1), 24 (multiplex 2) , 34 (multiplex 3. Is in testing mode, some TV channels have not been finally determined) of the UHF range (see frequency grid).

Since January 2015, a third multiplex has been opened in Moscow and the Moscow region(!) on channel 34, the programs in which are currently selected on tender terms. The regular programs of the 3rd multiplex are: Match! Arena, Music of the First And Life news. The list of programs that are participating in the tender can be viewed.

(!) On channel 58 (770 MHz) since October 2016, test broadcasting of an ultra-high definition signal (Ultra HD 4K) has been carried out. The signal can be received by any resident of Moscow and the surrounding Moscow region if they have a TV that supports Ultra HD/DVB-T2/HEVC.
