DESIGN ANTENNA MODEL APPLIED TO THE COMPUTER NETWORK AT 2.4 GHz FREQUENCY

Antenna is an inseparable part in wireless technology to deliver information primarily in agriculture, because the function  of  the  antenna  is  to  convert  electrical  signals  into  electromagnetic  signals  and  radiate  them  and otherwise the antenna can also function to receive electromagnetic signals and convert it into electrical signals.In this research, the design and measurement of some basic antenna models applied to the computer network are Quarter  wave  omni  directional  antenna,  yagi  antenna  and  helix  antenna.  Antenna  is  made  based on  linear  and circular polarization. Of the three antenna models are then measured to get the performance of the antenna.From the measurements generated that include the measurement of radiation pattern, gain and bandwidth can be known  the  type  and  model  of  the  best  antenna  and  optimal  to be  applied  to  computer  networks,  especially  on wireless technology at 2.4 GHz frequency and antenna planning is expected to provide additional knowledge for students majoring in information technology.
