Waveguide Using Tin Can Antenna for Wireless

Tin Can Antenna for Wireless

I. Introduction

We detect signal that transmit from Wi-Fi Router by Tin Can that we built by our hand made. This TinCan can detect signal from Wi-fi Router 2.4GHz. To gain data form Tin Can, we use spectrum analyzer to check dB gain.

II. Objective

Learn to build Tin An antenna for Wi-Fi

Learn of waveguide type antenna by Tin Can

Learn the power gain that Tin Can detect from Wi-Fi Router (2.4GHz)

To conclusion about either the Tin Can or data

III. Equipment

In this experiment, we use equipment such as below:

Spectrum Analyzer (2 GHz)

Wi-Fi Router (PROLINK, PRN2001) 2.4 GHz

BNC Connection F(Type)

Tin Can (steal of mike can)

Monopole antenna

Cables

IV. Methodology

We build up a CanAnt for Wi-Fi that it is a steal type and it build up like below description:

V. Measurement

1) Gain without using TinCan (Reference)

Table 1: Gian Reference Before use Tin Can

2) Gain (TinCan Antenna)

Table 2: Gian use Tin Can

If we compare Table 2: Gain (TinCan ANT) with Table 1: Gain (Reference), we observed that power gain in Table 2 is higher than because TinCan has only direction to detect signal.

3) Beam pattern

For distance d=1[m]

Table 3: Beam pattern with d=1[m]

For distance d=2[m]

Table 4: Beam pattern with d=2[m]

We observed that Table 3: has power gain higher than Table 4 because the distance in experiment is nearer than and it just only 1m while experiment in Table 4 is 2m.

V. Conclusion

In conclusion, we could build TinCan antenna and receive data successfully. TinCan Antenna is good because it may detect signal only one direction, so the power gain that it detects is higher if compare to reference that we experiment.
