The size of a parabolic transmitter/receiver 2007-03-26
From Evan:
I am making a parabola for my home wireless LAN. I feel pretty confident that I can make a parabolic trough that will work. But I am curious about size. Is there really any advantage to using a deep (more depth) parabolic shape over a shallow one as long as you use the correct focal point. And is bigger better? I know that my parabola has to be bigger than the waves it is getting which wont be a problem but if I make the diameter bigger does it get more effective or is there such a thing as "too much of a good thing"? I have looked everywhere for an answer and have come up short. Thanks!
