I ordered four of the simpler devices this weekend (LilyGO T3-S3 LoRa 868MHz - SX1262) and I have been reading about antennas.
Since I live in a city I am not super optimistic about the range. But I am still very curious about the concept, and I would love to be surprised.
After doing some search about antennas, I have decided to test the following combination:
-
3dBi 868MHz ISM Band Dipole Terminal Antenna for the LoRa that stays at home:
-
Sighunter 868 MHz to bring with me.
I also have a vector network analyzer (LiteVNA) that can be used for checking antennas, so I will also try to build some antennas myself. I doubt that my custom antennas will approach the performance of the professional ones... But I just find it such a cool concept.
Have you already gotten to play with it? What is your experience so far?
