How To Boost TV Antenna Signal Homemade

Layout your cardboard piece with the marker and draw a circle, plus two semicircles. When drawing the semicircles make sure they aren't bigger than the circle that you initially drew.

Once you've completed the first step, now layout two cardboard pieces and cut them into a rectangle using the scissor/knife. The length of the rectangle should be slightly larger than the circle's diameter. The rectangular piece will act as the reflector, so you must have an estimate/idea of the measurements you will require before cutting the cardboard.

After cutting the cardboard into the desired shape, use an aluminum foil to cover one side of each of the rectangular cardboard. Next, cut the circle off the cardboard. Once you've obtained a circle, you have to wrap the same in a long foil piece. Fold the circle in half after you've wrapped the circle.

Cut slots in the rectangular cardboard and place the circular pieces in the slots. The model of your project should look like a semicircle now.

Once you've completed all the steps, you will notice the projections of the circular cardboard piece, fold it and it should almost resemble a lip. Grab the foil-covered circle, which you folded in half; it is now a semicircle, cut a hole in the middle. The hole should be large enough to fit an antenna, so make sure you do it according to the antenna's size.

Once you've fitted the antenna through the cardboard hole, attach the amplifier and you can now use your homemade DIY antenna to help boost your network.

Make the antenna by connecting the ends of the separated wires.
