Cement Antenna for Building-to-Building Network

Abstract

Since 1960s, residential fixed line telephone service was started to introduce in Hong Kong and there were over 1.7 million households was registered in 1980s. Nowadays, there are over 92% of penetration rate on the service. If you are old enough, you may still remember that bunch of connection lines and phone sockets occupied a corner at your home. It looks ugly and unfashionable. Therefore, people are going to embed all the lines and sockets in the wall and only a plug exposed. As the wireless application are getting more and more demanding, people used to install a router and apply for wireless services from the broadband provider. The same problem is happening again, bunch of cables, polystyrene based antennas and networking modems occupied a corner and it take a mess if they didn't organize it well. Therefore, in order to reduce the mess, I am going to design a cement based dielectric resonator antenna, with the help of EM-Simulator HFSS, build and test the antenna in the laboratory, trying to embed all the mess and achieving other applications, using the brick as an antenna to project the signals instead of the traditional polystyrene antenna.
