Last picture is 11Ghz and 2.4Ghz versions compared.
Waveguide is tested and the resuts are very good - more than 14dbi are reached!
This is a good way to fast build and test antennas, also quick modifications are possable.
The bad thing is that You can not solder aluminium - which for this antenna is not a problem.
The author of this post call this “40cents antenna” and he has several different types of antennas builded and tested.
