In this day and age of the internet, people are spending more money on gadgetry and communications technology than they do on food and basic needs. Having access to the web has become a need and many companies are rushing to meet that demand. But unknown to many, the technology that we are paying for has been around for centuries or even as old as the earth itself.

I’m talking about the principle of waveguides and how understanding it can eventually lead you into improvising stuff at home like your very own Wi-Fi antenna. You don’t have to worry about materials as there are websites that sell products like double ridge waveguide components.  But these items are usually used for more complex waveguide projects. For now, understanding how waveguide works will enable you to create your own antenna anywhere, anytime.

 Internet travels in wave energy form. For it to reach its destination, it needs a waveguide to focus on. The same process goes on whether you put in a commercial type antenna or a homemade one. It’s the reason why some folks put pieces of tin in their TV antennas to enhance reception.
