Abstract
This research presents a method for developing a wireless transceiver from local waste materials. Different materials have a parabolic curve shape. Materials can be found easily at home and low cost. The transceiver made from 5 types of materials is aluminium, zinc, stainless steel, steel, and foil. The material was selected for a diameter of parabolic curve shape of about 29 cm. The wireless transceiver is made from aluminum basins, zinc basins, stainless colander, iron pan, and foil-wrapped wireframe. The finding for the point of signal impact and combine the signal, test the signal strength of wireless LAN network by computer and test the increase of mobile phone signal were investigated.
The results showed that the best material to increase the signal strength of the wireless LAN network by computer at 140 meters of distance was an aluminum basin with an upload at 945.84 kbps and a download at 184.69 Mbps. The best material that increases mobile phone signal is an aluminum basin which have the highest signal increase of up to 16%, followed by a steel pan have the highest signal increase of up to 14%, and a stainless colander have the highest signal increase of up to 12% respectively. These results conform to the lower electrical resistance has better the wireless signal reflection.
