I've taken the antenna out of a wireless internet box. It consists of 4 square panels on PCB, that meet at a junction point, (4 squares connected together). Each panel is about 2.5" sq. I've connected a length of coax to the panels and run this to a cell phone, then wrapped a few turns around the phone it self as an air gapped couple to the internal antenna of the cell phone. We were able to improve a little, the reception.
The coax in question is: RG 6/u 18ga CATV. Nice stuff by the way but perhaps out of spec for 800 mhz.
Question: How do I determine if and what values the RC network should be to match the cable to the antenna.
