In this video, we awesomely testing the performance of our awesome Cantenna using the awesome Vector Network Analyzer. Sorry for the not so awesome english-malay dialogue for those who cannot understand this video.
Basically Bart (the guy in maroon shirt) awesomely explained that our Cantenna initially didn't give the 2.4 GHz reading because the thin copper rod connected to the SME was straighten upwards. At first we thought it was the length of it that affects the performance so we tried to cut 7 cm of it but it doesn't show any improvement and vice versa. Then we tried to awesomely bend it and saw changes in the reading. The copper was awesomely bended bit by bit to a certain angle until we finally manage to get the ideal reading.
We assumed that the bending causes it to perform better because the structure and surface of the tin can made the signal bounces in ways that made the copper able to receive more reflected waves in that angle than being straighten upwards.
That's all for our home made wifi antenna performance testing. Thank you for watching!
