The quality and range of communication depends on the parameters of the antenna and the correctness of its installation. It can change both in the direction of increasing to the maximum achievable, and decrease tenfold. Even the most expensive antenna will not solve all the assigned tasks if it is incorrectly configured.
Instructions
Step 1
Before trying to amplify the antenna signal first, check that the installation and tuning are correct. Set the antenna settings to the frequency range required to receive a particular signal.
Step 2
Then proceed to work on signal amplification. When receiving a weak signal, you must "swing" it to the required level, at which the receiver would work well enough.
Step 3
The easiest option is to do this with an amplifier. Just attach additional metal to the roof of the antenna and you can observe an increase in the signal. But this works when the distance to the base station is not too great.
Step 4
If this distance is significant, then you need to purchase a special amplifier. It must have a low noise level in order to get the desired result. Although in most cases, just a conventional antenna is sufficient, which is capable of training the signal.
Step 5
The quality of the material from which the antenna is made also determines its ability to amplify the signal. Do not buy a cheap structure that can break or bend at the first gust of wind. Do not forget that the antenna is outside around the clock and in any weather, it is exposed to all natural phenomena. Therefore, choose one that is strong, lightweight, securely attached and capable of withstanding various loads.
Step 6
Better to preserve the signal gain received at the antenna, a high-quality cable and antenna adapter will help. Indeed, with a weak cable or adapter, the signal received at the antenna will begin to weaken as it moves forward.
Step 7
Another way to boost the signal is to set the antenna high enough. Especially if you are far from the base station. The higher you put the antenna, the more effect you will get. at the top, you can capture a signal of much higher power. Of course, with this method, you will have to spend a lot on an additional cable and not avoid certain losses when the signal passes through it.
Step 8
Each method has certain advantages and disadvantages, so think carefully and decide which option is most suitable for you.
