   As a wireless applications engineer, I have always shaken my head   
   at the pringles can antenna, which if well made can have a gain up   
   to at most 8 dBi or so. For less than $50, you can buy a professinally   
   made flat patch antenna with 8 dBi gain at L-com.com. Apparently, you   
   can find used ones on eBay for under $30, but why take the risk?   
   If you need circular polarization, it will be closer to $75.
