Help connect a 3G antenna

In general, there is a 3G antenna with a gain of 21 dB. You need to connect it to the modem without going out to the antenna. I found the “test” connectors inside, felt it, pierced it, eventually soldered the antenna wire directly to the modem’s internal antenna (the connectors go directly to it). I tried to connect the antenna to the connectors, the result is unchanged.

The essence of the problem - it works very poorly, the tower is only 3 km, even with direct visibility the gain is sooo weak. The cable length does not matter, even on a meter at least a 10 meter result is the same.
In reality, what amplifies perfectly is 2G, a 100% signal.

There is some kind of box on the antenna that the cable is connected to, I haven’t seen this before and that the hell knows inside.
I tried to put the modem in the place of the antenna where this box is, there is no signal, but it should be! Or not?

The antenna works in the range 1700-2170, the operator also works in this range:

@Messiah, welcome to our community!
The 2G network (GSM) operates in the GSM 900/1800 MHz standards.
The 3G network operates at such radio frequencies: 1965-1980 / 2155-2170 MHz.


The cable is 50 ohm, and interestingly, the antenna works only when the inner core is connected, when the outer braid is connected it does not work at all! What a paradox?
What to check, what to feel, advise! Maybe you need some food?

Mr.Alex
Pronin correctly "painted" everything. This is not audio equipment and other "everyday life", it is impossible to "abykakpopalokolhozit".

Well, Creosan told me everything.
Maybe you need such an antenna, I don’t know the frequency, the inside there is a gold-plated central core, and the upper part 7 cm long is completely copper. I connected high frequencies to the TV set

I just thought it might work better through a smartphone.

Yes, I have everything buzzing, a WI-FI router is standing in the cellar in a basin, it used to show the design. In winter, it froze, so I put it in the insulation for pipes, so it worked for -15. And this mother-in-law needs to be connected, she’s generally there in the pit ...

And where does the information about the smartphone come from?))
Dima, how does the Internet work on your smartphone? Are the speeds too small? hangs?

she really, and for whom they are made and why? suckers bred apparently
Anyway, you need to deal with the antenna
Pronin correctly said that at such a frequency and with such a cable length, all useful signal from the antenna will be extinguished by losses in the cable.
also afraid of frost below -15
It is necessary to try, if it is constantly on, then it should not be too warm, to warm up! sorry

The signal is at a height of 10 meters, the router can periodically hang and charge only from 4 pins, in addition, it is afraid of frost below -15.

One way or another, you need to deal with the antenna.
But what to do is not clear, okay, I will continue to chem
I still have the only way to access the Internet - USB modem. I tried many different models of modems and antennas. It turned out to be the best (in my conditions) M150-2 with Harchenko’s antenna, screwed directly to the modem and a short HF - cord in the connector. And then - active (with amplifiers) USB - cables to the computer. True, now we have an order with the signal, just stuck any (unlocked) modem into the USB port, and let's go! smile

Tut SWR no more than 1.5 written. But what to do is not clear, okay, I will continue to chem
It interferes, but not so much ... How can I connect an external one? at 2 GHz ?? There the waveguide should ... to the plug.
Isn't it better to take a working modem with a socket for an external antenna (gilded)?
Antenna make Yagi on 5 elements or Spindler on the 50th. Everything is calculated according to the available materials ...
That's when they did, debugged their antenna and simultaneously measured the log-periodic TV on decimeter channels (St. Petersburg). Industrial, so to speak. Welded from iron, painted with a thick layer. So she has an SWR of ~ 5. And she "worked" due to the plate amplifier, a cat. at the end was. xaxa

Cut off the internal antenna? Well, no question. But I don’t think she’s interfering
I looked at my Megaphone-3G Modem E160G USB Stick. I bought when there was no cable Internet. I disassembled, broke the plastic latch.
So he has a small plug on the side of an external antenna. You also need a lace adapter. I read that when connected. in the external antenna socket internal off.
By the way, for a cell phone dialers made an external antenna, in due time. He had a gilded socket for an external antenna. So the plug-connector was turned out of brass and soldered to the PK50 cable. It worked in the village. There then the connection was not important at all. The frequency was ~ 900MHz
Another option is a genuine USB cable to the modem and a higher PC. Watch it in the display. Or a laptop?

so what to do?
The antenna works only when connecting the inner core, when connecting the outer braid it does not work at all! What a paradox?

Dima, this is not a paradox. This antenna does not work. Not agreed. Wrong frequency, etc. .....
Brave people, poke "connect" to a working transmitter of the modem ... It used to be, conn. inconsistent load - output stage to out. At a frequency of 2 GHz !! any conductor to the connector is not a consistent inductance !. There must be an RF connector. And so - losses in the eyeliner ...
And the sense of such an antenna is not much. And there are no 21db
"the box to which the cable is connected" is obviously a matching device with the cable.
In theory - off. ext. insert the antenna into the connector (50th) the cable end (50th) from the antenna. Unconnected modem output DO NOT LEAVE !!
Properly calculated Udo-Yagi (or Spindler with a copper vibrator) 7 elements will give the best effect, Imho. Did-set up 7-element on a panoramic VSWR ...
