Assalamualaikum wbt. This week, we are going to discuss and decide on which antenna type that we will use for our Apacer Antenna project. After all the discussion and the surveys that we had conducted last week, we have decided to do the HDTV Antenna.
The list of required components for the antenna are listed below:
1. 1.5 or 2.5 liter soda bottle
2. 5 aluminium cans
3. 5 screws with nuts
4. 5 cm of wood
5. Wire conductor
5. Coaxial cable coupler/HDMI cable
6. 12 inches x 12 inches of plywood/box
The steps in making the antenna project are as follow:
Firstly, the antenna are made with 1.5 or 2.5 liter bottle, 5 aluminium cans, 5 screws with nuts, 1 section of 5 cm of wood, 1 "optional" fan base such as plywood or box to make it as a base of the antenna. the antenna are screw directly onto a wooden stick and put it in a suitable place on your roof.
Next, 1 "optional" coaxial cable coupler can be placed directly to the coaxial cable one side to the mesh and the other to the center. The antenna has excellent reception and easy to install in your home. If you do not have a drill, the holes can be made up with a nail that is of the measurement of the screw.
The reasons why we chose this type of antenna is because it used minimum cost to build this antenna. Apart from that, the required material is easy to get and quite familiar. Next, we have a lot of references on this HDTV antenna that enable and help us to implement this antenna. Finally, this HDTV antenna is affordable and easy to install.
