🔴Waveform 4x4 MIMO Antenna - What's inside? Let's take it apart and see!!

Very good antenna. Lot of work inside. Very interesting parts and shapes.

Incredible video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the videos coming. Interesting video. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT

Thank you Peter. I always wondered why these were better than a simple 5G receive antenna mounted on a router… Looking under the hood I clearly see the tuning and quality that make this $400 antenna something to seriously consider. 💪💯😊

Antenna elements that are not attached to anything are usually parasitic elements (that help focus the signal for more gain I think).
Thank you for doing this! I was very curious about their product.

Interesting! Do you have the Newest Waveform QuadPro 4X4 Antenna? If so could you do this type of Video for that and see if there are any key differences between them inside? I doubt there would be much of a difference because Waveform told me it's not worth Upgrading if you already have the Legacy that they call it now but it would still be interesting to see if there are any differences between them inside.

The non-connected elements are considered parasitic elements. The operate as em shields, at least by my understanding, in regards to the mimo side of the system, many would think they just rotated all four directions, but that is incorrect. Even though there are 4 antenna, the top two have a horizonal identical orientation, while the bottom two have a 90 degree rotated orientation to the top two, however they again are exactly oriented to eachother. So there's only 2 orientations in this 4x4 mimo - and this is thanks to the parasitic elements (working in tandem with the ground plaine) providing an effective shield to the adjacent antenna.
If you take a direct down over view, and duplicate and then flip the image, you can actually see on the active element (with proper transparency levels) where there are gaps in the overlay, and if you happen to measure many of those gaps you get very interesting lengths such as 28-30 mm, 45 mm, etc. And those gaps happen to be the 1/4 wavelength of n41, n66, etc. Which is the magic that grants these awesome antenna very massive ranges of frequency that are so specific to the 5g bands.

After getting my 4th gen tablo I think the dvr has an hdmi/secret port because when i was inspecting the network data to try and grab the m3u8 streams of my channels.

Good morning... I'm confused...if I have a D-Link Router...one antenna to get Internet from my provider...how I'm going to connect this quad unit which has 4 cables....??? Thanks

works as long as theres a signal... if the signal is too week then youd go for a high gain antenna, , yagi grid or log.. check your operating frequency...it might give you half the speed but at least youll be getting something

You need this outdoors…. These are TERRIFIC!!! …. The internals are VERY very different than other products out there…

Makes you wonder why they are so expensive!
