I just got my homebase wireless system setup!. Im very pleased with the idea of sharing my internet connection with others. Although i did find my self driving around with my laptop looking for other access points in bedford. Guess what???? That's right you quessed it! As soon as i got in bedford i found that there are quite a few users using peer2peer and some AP's. Although i did not try out the connections, i will try again soon, This time i will have a good play! If there are any users from bedfordshire, please post, as the more hotspots we find the better!!

Building A Better Wireless Antenna

Building A Better Wireless Antenna 03/20/2003 01:05 PM
Much of the success of a mobile device rides on an often-overlooked piece of technology -- its antenna. For years, though, improvements have been minor. Lately, a movement has developed toward building radically different antennas for mobile devices.

Evolved antenna designs

Evolved antenna designs 06/28/2004 11:35 AM
This antenna (and may others on the linked page) was evolved by NASA using a genetic algorithm. While highly effective, its design is counter-intuitive.

First, there is the potential of needing less power. Antenna ST5-3-10 achieves high gain (2-4dB) across a wider range of elevation angles. This allows a broader range of angles over which maximum data throughput can be achieved. Also, less power from the solar array and batteries may be required.

Second, the evolved antenna does not require a matching network nor a phasing circuit, removing two steps in design and fabrication of the antenna. A trivial transmission line may be used for the match on the flight antenna, but simulation results suggest that one is not required.

Third, the evolved antenna has more uniform coverage in that it has a uniform pattern with small ripples in the elevations of greatest interest (between 40 and 80 degrees). This allows for reliable performance as elevation angle relative to the ground changes.

Looks like all those pastel PSPs Sony was showing at E3 were just a tease. According to an interview in Japanese game magazine Famitsu, Sony claims the various color PSPs were "just for reference. We plan to make the system black." I wouldn't worry too much, though. I'm sure if the PSP does well at all, color models will start showing up in no time at all.

URI Employee Develops Hot Stuff Antenna
Technology 06/07/2004 07:29 AM

Although there's an old adage, "Never trust a University of Rhode Island press release when it's talking about a breakthrough in antenna technology," I think we'll go against the grain and mention this new technique by inventor Rob Vincent (of the university's Physics Department) that claims to have produce distributed-load, monopole antennas that will double the range of walkie-talkies, cell phones, and WiFi networking equipment. According to testing performed by URI (ah HA!), the antennas are one-third to one-ninth the size of a full-size counterpart while retaining 80 to 100 percent efficiency. Vincent developed the antennas while trapped in the steam tunnels below the university, where he works in the lab cafeteria (maybe). (Thanks, Dean Halberg!)

Tritium Flatenna: Cardboard and Foil
Antenna

Tritium Flatenna: Cardboard and Foil
Antenna 07/12/2004 08:52 AM

I'd like to see some actually testing (NYCWireless, I call thee!) of these little folding cardboard antennas, the Tritium Flatenna, but the idea itself is interesting. The simple metal and foil antenna is designed to clip onto your existing external antenna -- no worrying about what type of connector -- and focus the standard omni-directional into a parabolic, semi-directional antenna. The upshot for you is that if your home network, for instance, could use a little boost, and your wireless access point is on one side of your living space, the $20 gadget could concentrate your signal in the one direction you need it. If it works, that is.

And where did they get that much Tritium? I suspect Oscorp is involved somehow. (Thanks, Josh!)

QuickerTek Inc. has announced an antenna upgrade kit for Dr. Bott's ExtendAIR Omni antenna. The antenna is designed to work with AirPort Extreme Base Stations equipped with an antenna port, and improves wireless networking range for the device. QuickerTek's modification enables the antenna to work on all AirPort Base Stations, including older 802.11b-based Graphite and Snow-colored models. It also extends range by up to 30 percent, according to the company. It costs US$34.95 and requires a soldering iron to install; if you're not comfortable doing the installation yourself, QuickerTek offers a $25 installation service as well.

Smart Antenna Processing Could Quadruple
Traffic 12/02/2003 02:32 PM
Motia's signal processing chip can optimize signal strength without losing standards compliance: This signal-processing chip analyzes each packet as it passes out of an 802.11b/g compliant chipset and optimizes the signal characteristics before it's broadcast. As a result, it can throw normal 802.11b/g two to four times further in a variety of short-range and long-range scenarios. Because this is a single component, an existing Wi-Fi manufacturer could combine the chip with silicon from other companies to achieve the benefit instead of switching over to an entirely new chipset....
