Can I Build My WiFi Antenna?

As the number of portable computing andIn order to enhance the wireless capabilities
communication devices grew, so does thethe antennas are developed and are now
demand to connect them to outside world. Toavailable in the market, though they are easy
go on line the computers had to be pluggedto install but these antennas are very
into a telephone wall socket. Requiring aexpensive. Hence it would be a great thing if
wired connection to fixed network meant thatit is possible to make our own antennas with
computers  were  portable,  but  not  mobile.some readily available goods. We would need a
cable (also known as pigtail) to connect
To achieve true mobility the computers needwireless interface card with the antenna. We
to use radio(or wireless in that case)would also need two kinds of connectors, a
signals for communication. . In this manner,N-male connector to connect one end of the
dedicated users would be able to read andcable to antennas and an appropriate
send email while driving or moving to otherconnector to connect the wireless interface
rooms etc. A system of portable computerscard with cable. Since the making of antenna
that communicate by radio are known asrequires wire, we would also need a soldering
wireless LAN. Therefore to provide mobilityiron to solder wires. For more info see on
to the systems, wireless local area networksUSB  Wi-Fi
were developed and now a new technology
"Wi-Fi" or 802.11x(IEEE standard for wirelessADVANTAGES  OF  DESIGNING  OUR  OWN  ANTENAS
LAN setup), has become the most popular
worldwide standard for the wirelessThe construction of our own antennas provides
communication  in  LAN..various advantages to us. Apart from being
cheaper than the antennas available in market
Nowadays all major Laptop manufacturersthey are also easy to configure into our
provide an in built wi-fi system. Work issystem. So instead of investing huge amounts
being done to make various devices likeof money in antennas we can better manage
mobile phones, mp3 players etc to be wi-fithat money by adding them to buy better
enabled.Laptop  systems.
In order to meet the growing demand for wi fiThere is also time factor involved in making
networks, various public places are providedour own antennas system. Since it is easy and
with  them.faster to make and install our own antennas,
it saves lot of time.
