Wireless technologies are very useful for the sake of better and the fast networking. Many wireless technologies are famous among the people of the present era. Some of the important technologies are Wifi, wireless LAN, wimax etc. all the wireless device consists of an antenna. It is the device that is used by the wireless technologies to throw the signals in the air and also increase the signaling power and the coverage area of the router is called as wireless antenna. And building such type of antenna in the home is called as home made wireless antenna. It has a coverage area as equal to the commercial wireless antenna but it save a large amount of money required to purchase the commercial one.

How to Build Homemade Wireless Antenna:

It is very easy to build wireless antenna in the home in order to save the large amount of expense required to build or purchase the wireless antenna from market. Building a wireless antenna in the home based on different steps that are the essential part of the building. These steps are as follows

Collection of Required material
Setting or Building process.

Collection of required Material:

The first step in building the wireless antenna in the home is the collection of the material required for building. The essential materials for the homemade wireless antenna are as follows

Tin can
Copper wire gauge
Drill
Soldering iron or solder
Nut and Bolts
Connectors

Tin Can:
            Select the tin can for this purpose, the tin can should be of 3 inches in diameter. Mostly soup cans are suitable for such purposes but they can vary in their size.
Copper wire:
                    Gauge copper wire is also used to develop the connection between different parts. 12 wires of 1.25 inches are used to connect the connector
Nut and Bolts:
                      Drill is used to do the holes in the tin can and the nuts and the bolts should be long that they can easily penetrate into the tin can.
Soldering:
              The wires should be soldered with the help of soldering iron to make the connection permanent.
Connectors:
                Female N- connectors are used for such purpose of building the wireless antenna in the home

Building Process:

For building the home made wireless antenna different steps are used to join the required material.

These steps are as follows

The first step in the building process is to do the holes in the tin can either the help of drill. The holes should be wide and long as the bolts and the connectors are passing way easily. Te holes should be designed by keeping in mind the frequencies of the connectors.
After the use of drill, assemble the N- type’s connectors with them with the help of gauge copper wires and soldered them to make the connection permanent. The length of the wire and the tubes are as close as they can easily connect the connectors for the access.
After soldering, wait little bit and allow the soldering to cool down and then attach the bolts in such manner that their nuts are outside the can. After this the home made wireless antenna is ready to do the work.
the final step is the attachment of the antenna with the access points of the networking device to do the wireless networking

Advantages of Homemade Wireless Antenna:

Some important advantages of the homemade wireless antenna are; it can save the money, build with the cheap material, have good signaling power it can also be enhances by changing the position of the tin can
