I wonder if beer can would work. can increase portability of of the kit. Drink beer, cut the can insert the antenna. Also can use some of those cheap tiny tripods. All that can make a killer traveller wifi kit. I some areas getting reliable signal is such a pain.
- nawariata 14y agoAccording to http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/cantennahowto.html http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/cantennahowto.html beer can would be too small. Optimal diameter should be between 3" and 3.66", however some people reported good results with much larger diameters.
- gonzo 14y agothis is because all the 'cantenna' does is shield most of the environment, which acts as noise (or interference). But yes, the opening should be at least 1/2 the wavelength of the signal you seek. The lambda of 2.4GHz is around 0.125m, or 4.9 inches. Half this is just under 2.5 inches.
