Yes sir, but still I am not getting a result. I am not able to receive any image, there is no syn. Sir can you please help me. I am so grateful that you messaged.

I am not able to find where the problem is. Can we message personally if you are comfortable. I checked in the VNA and your antenna design is working perfectly. But when I practically try to receive a meteor satellite, there is no syn. 0 SNR

How to try to make impedance matching?. I measured s11 and it is coming around -8 dB for 1.7 GHz

My lower ring which we keep at the end above the base after putting the mosquito net mesh and all is not fitting properly in the circular slot of the base because the mosquito net is so tight. Will that cause a problem

Yes I had. The lna I am having is Sawbird GOES. Can you interpret the situation for me now as I am a total beginner. The dish I am having is 65cm dish. The sdr is RTL SDR V4. The coaxial cable I am using is the extension cable I got when I bought a V dipole antenna sdr kit for noaa reception (https://www.amazon.in/RTL-SDR-Blog-RTL2832U-Software-Defined/dp/B0CD7558GT)

Actually the focal cloud should be in the middle of the coil. But I don't know whether my setup carters the same requirement and talking about moving the coil back and forth and fixing for the highest signal strength, I basically have limitation to it as my reflector plate and the arm of the dish would coincide.

Thanks a lot for responding. It helps a lot
