Title: Johnny Yang and His Coaxial Cable Antenna Invention.

Introduction

Johnny Yang is an inventor associated with Tucheng, Taiwan. His patent work includes a method for making an antenna from coaxial cable, offering a way to form antenna elements from the cable’s own braided shield.

Latest Patents

Yang’s listed patent, “Method for Making Antenna of Coaxial Cable and the Antenna So Made,” describes a cable antenna assembled by soldering two antenna cables and a coupling cable to a circuit board. The coupling cable connects to a signal-receiving or transmitting circuit, while the free ends of the antenna cables are exposed to receive or transmit electromagnetic signals.

To form each antenna element, a section of the cable’s outer jacket is removed to expose the braided shield. Part of that shield is then removed to reveal the dielectric layer around the core conductor, leaving a portion of the braid in place. The removed braid is twisted into an elongated conductor and soldered to the remaining exposed braid. The design preferably positions this conductor substantially perpendicular to the cable’s central axis. The core conductor may also be bent 90 degrees, and another conductive member of similar length may be used instead of the twisted braid. Yang is credited with 1 patent.
