Maximizing range of signal strength by homemade Wi-Fi booster antenna

摘要

Wi-Fi is a fantastic new gadget, but its reach is only about 50 to 100 meters. Fortunately it is possible to build our own antenna cheaply (less than 10 US dollars). Now a days, more individuals, businesses and local governments are enjoying wireless internet access proliferating Wi-Fi hotspots, home, office, and public wireless networks. However, Wi-Fi users are seldom completely satisfied with the signal strength offered by off the shelf Wi-Fi cards, routers, access points and USB adapters. Compounding to the coverage problems, many locate their routers, access points or desktop Wi-Fi cards in a closet, against the wall or under a desk, diminishing signal strength and limiting bandwidth. This research paper includes specifications of existing booster antennas, comparative study with home-made antenna and Minimal Implementation of work in Real time environment.
