Antenna Design and Fabrication

Assalamualaikum and hi to all.

We are recently in week 13 for our academic lecture. As what we have discussed last week, we wanted to do the finalized design for our Apacer Antenna this week. So below is the progress for this week activities which we make the antenna more stable in which we tighten the attachment of the cans to the hole of the bottle by using suitable dimension of the hole at the bottle as the same as the dimension of the screw to avoid them loosely tied up.

And then, we divide the wire conductor into 2 parts, which 1 part of 2 wire conductors from 2 cans are bind together while the other part with 3 wire conductor of 3 cans. This two part of wire conductors are divided to be connected to coaxial cable.

After the antenna has completed, we try to test the antenna to the HDTV.

From the TV screen, we can see that there are many losses and noise in our antenna that given such signal result. 

For this reason, we think of redesigning our antenna to get more signal reception because it might be the can's material did not receive more signal. We will coat all of our Apacer Antenna design will aluminium foil to receive more signal which aluminium has higher conductivity. Stay tuned!
