Novel idea but, as a computer tech professional, I would not recommend trying this. Bluetooth is a very unsecured means of communication. Increasing your connection area only increases the area you have in which to be attacked, hacked, etc. But it will definitely work with any radio frequency transceiver device; phones, wifi routers/hotspots, or wireless microphones.

I like how you include your cat in your videos!

I already increased my kitty's range

To the people who don't seem to think this can work: ===================================== ● From my limited knowledge I know that the larger (or better) an aerial I put on my transceiver the further away I can send and receive signals. ● I also know that those further stations are not broadcasting at any higher power just because I changed MY aerial. So it must have been the aerial that was responsible for giving me the increased range. ● Further, if I add an aerial amplifier into my transceiving system I can increase the distance even MORE that I can get good signal. In other words: Your phone's Bluetooth power output is NOT the limiting factor. Active two way communication can take place as long as the controlling phone is within the Bluetooth device's transmission range. Or am I being thick? . . ,-)

@nathanzeligman103

You are correct, just note that even though the phone can read a signal from further away doesn't mean it can send anything back. Both devices would require the same effective range for 2 way communication.

The wavelength is 12.5cm so having an antenna that is not of tuned length is of no advantage.

@garrycotton7094

9 жыл бұрын

Matthew Chiera Yep, indeed. Strapping on an arbitrarily long antenna will improve the catchment area but the signal quality will suffer. If it's a monopole antenna (most are that are readily available) then a length that is an odd number x wavelength/4 is best: (2n + 1)*Wavelength/4. Usually people just use wavelength/4 so appropriate antenna length here would be 31.25mm

Even if the phone could detect the signal from 3/4 mile away, it could never send a signal back. Useless.

***** Go to school and learn how the cellular network works. Then learn how BlueTooth works. Especially pay attention to the radiated energy of a Bluetooth radio compared to a cellular radio, its susceptibility to interference, and signal scattering effects at longer range. Then come back and explain again how a BlueTooth connection could be made at 3/4 of a mile.

were you able to achieve 2 way communication. Is the antenna gain on the receiver good enough to detect the low power of the phone Tx

This is a relic of an older time

So anyone in a 3/4 mile radius can connect to your device. And what about the tv remote ain't it infrared signal?

It would

So we remove the existing antenna from the unit and replace it with this new super antenna? OK. Lets look at some hard facts. The original antenna is matched for the device with a VSWR of 1.2 to 1, the gain of the antenna is 3 dbi. The new "HACK" antenna now installed has a VSWR of 1.7 to 1 and a gain of 3.5 dbi. Yes, the new antenna has a higher gain But...... the VSWR went up due to a mismatch and the coax cable has a loss of .7 db. Bringing the new antennas efficiency down to 2.5 dbi. or lower. Sure, you might receive a signal 3/4 of a mile away, but can you send a signal back? I have done experiments like this, and the improvement is negligible.

This just will not work. Two problems: 1 No way a phones bluetooth is sending a signal back 3/4 of a mile to the pc (lol) 2: the usb port on the pc would burn out in no time trying to supply the increased power demand. Seriously people, think this through; if increasing bluetooth range were as easy as using a more powerful antenna, don't you think the companies involved in this highly competitive sector would do it?

This does work, but this video is an oversimplification of it. A dipole or monopole antenna could do it over that range, but line of sight and on a band that is unpopulated with other devices, or a band lower down the spectrum. 2.4GHZ is easily attenuated by the most mundane of materials. Using a yagi will help and a stacked yagi will help by the factor of how many yagi's you have calibrated together and matched on both ends. You can easily get significant distance using this method and further still by raising high off the ground to defeat the curvature of the earth, but this is the limit of bands that are above 800MHz (and even some lower frequencies struggle to curve with the earth). ytsejam6891 There is no need to increase the power demand on the Bluetooth There is also no magic to it. If you want your signal to go further then you need to use a high gain antenna. Gain is achieved by focusing or directing the signal in a smaller area to the one you had before. EG a yagi is the weapon of choice if you really want rang you can stack them, feed them with same length Coax to limit matching issues. increasing the power to the antenna will increase the distance it 'could' travel but not by much, it's very exponential, doubling the power of the RF only increases the signal enough to move one S-point (relative to a decibel). There are other limitations such as the RF cannot bend around corners or follow the bend in the earth, but this can be cured by raising the antennas at both ends. I know some of my fellow radio hams that operate with the same power levels as a Bluetooth device who have worked stations all over the world, some using equipment that can only be described as primitive compared to Bluetooth. more power doesn't always mean more signal.

@iamcute69

ytsejam6891 I don't think you understand how usb or wireless signals works. Increasing the length of the antenna wont affect Tx-power, or increase overall power usage of the device. Also, USB spec devices are able to supply 2 amps, which is MUCH more than any standard usb bluetooth adapter will use.

Also, bluetooth dongles aren't a "highly competitive sector" at all. They do sell bluetooth dongles with antennas that stick out, but they have higher manufacturing costs and aren't as common for mainstream use. This mod is simply for adding an antenna to a cheap bluetooth device that you may have lying around.

@iamcute69

Hung Wang Can you explain what I'm wrong about?

The antenna is built for the 2.4 GHz frequency range. It increases the range of the Bluetooth transmitter because of resonance. Each specific frequency has a “proper antenna length” this length of antenna correlates to the resonant frequency of the transmitter which makes the transmitter more efficient and can travel farther. This means that for other devices which operate on 2.4 GHz the antenna will increase their range. However if the device operates on a lower frequency like MHz-KHz then the small antenna will reduce the range. But you could get some success with devices which operate in the 2-3 GHz range.

Congrats on a million subs

@kipkay what phone do you own ? (haha that rhymes)

Is there a way to get that antenna still? It isn't on the site.

This is going back a bit but may be handy, looking at some Bluetooth battery monitors that have fairly short range by default, might be handy to boost them up. I wonder if the device is likely to use more power though.

Hey do you think that this would work with a usb WIFI adapter. At work there is a guest signal but i have a hard time picking it up. I bought one of the Linksys USB adapters and it helps but i am looking to improve on it a bit. any suggestions would help alot. Thanks, and great vids.

hey kip was wondering if you can increase the range on a usb Bluetooth audio adapter with the same antenna to be used on a portable ammo can speaker box

what about power/current draw? Any issues with overheating or voltage drops?

that antena runs at a higher speed than my computer lol

Question - I would like to have a shorter cable will that affect the overall results?

So... where do you get one of these antennas? The link just goes to a site showing this same video.

increased kitty range Yea Lol

Could this be made to accept music Bluetoothed from your phone to to the linksy Bluetooth receiver, then OUT to a speaker? Im curious because of how compact the device is. I need something that will become a very small bluetooth capable speaker/make a small speaker bluetooth capable.
