<h2>If you like what you see here, consider leaving a tip.<br></h2> Use this file is to create a frame for the driven, reflector, and parasitic elements of a biquad yagi of your own specifications. The default values are for a 2.4 GHz antenna with a centre frequency of 2.442 GHz (centre of WiFi channels), but can be made resonant at just about any frequency, with as many elements as you wish. <h3>Updates:</h3> <ul> <li> 2018 Jan 7 <ul> <li> Initial upload with basic frame. </li> </ul> <br></li> <li> 2018 Jan 8 <ul> <li> Added optional configurable holes for antenna boom. </li> <li> Some code/math cleanup. </li> </ul> <br></li> <li> 2018 Jan 11 <ul> <li> Added optional frame support fillet. </li> </ul> <br></li> <li> 2018 Jan 16 <ul> <li> Added boom tubes. </li> <li> Corrected console reporting of reflector element length. </li> <li> Removed "work in progress" status. </li> </ul> <br></li> <li> 2018 Jan 20 <ul> <li> Added optional mounting hole in boom tube. </li> </ul> <br></li> </ul> <h3>To Do:</h3> <ul> <li> Maybe chamfer some edges...

This file takes as many variables in to account as I could think of to allow you to create an antenna the way you want it.
