Subject: XF Antenna Drawing Progress 08/02/2023 

I've been building in XF and have ran into some issues but currently have the following completed:

- Struts are placed, though they are not evenly spaced and the same. I have contacted XF to try and figure out how to get rotation/patterns to do what we need

- Circuit components and circuit board are in the xf file, though the components are not on the circuit board (I'm not totally sure how to put them on, that's the next step). The circuit components should be of spec, I looked up the part numbers from the previous ELOG post and grabbed the values from the manufacturer.

 

Here are the things that have not been completed/need answered:

- How to evenly space the struts connecting the shape (as stated previously, I've contacted XF to figure out how to do this easily. Im just bad at modeling in XF)

- Add circuit components to circuit board

- Add voltage and ground connections to the circuit board

- On the circuit diagram, figure out J1 and J2 connections. Meaning, which one connects to the signal from the cable and which connects to the other cone that is used as ground?

 

To see current antenna build go to: " /users/PAS1977/jacobweiler/GENETIS/XFzone/straightened_antenna_for_Jack.xf "

Attached are pictures in case there are issues pulling up model in XF. :)
