Topics Discussed:

Wireless Networking
802.11 Wi-Fi spec
Directional Antennas
Waveguide Antenna
Yagi Antenna
Flickenger design Antenna

Assignment:

Today, we will complete our directional antenna project. Our goal was to sustain a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal over a minimum distance of 100 yards (300 ft or ~92m). Many of the antenna designs successfully completed this task, but only one came out on top with a whopping 42% sustained signal quality. Please congratulate Christian and Luis for their outstandingly simple waveguide cantenna design that conquered all other designs. They will be enjoying pizza and wings as the rest of the class completes the final midterm reflection assignment.

The link for the midterm reflection assignment can be found here. Please follow the instructions on the form, and answer each question group with a complete five-sentence paragraph. Pay attention to your spelling, punctuation and grammar as you compose your paragraphs. This assignment is to be written in a professional tone in an academic voice, and it will be graded based on the criteria described on the form. This assignment is effectively your midterm assessment which represents the major portion of your project grade, and should be addressed accordingly.

Good luck, and thank you for all your hard work on this project. Do your best on your midterm reflection and then enjoy your Spring Break!
