Build a cell phone signal booster

If you live in a difficult area for your mobile and you do not have a good signal, then here are eight ways to build a signal booster yourself that will improve the quality of your connection.

Wi-Fi

Tired of going to the balcony every time you want to talk on your cell phone? Poor mobile signal in the area, preventing you from being able to chat clearly and without interruptions? Love hiking and nature, but can't afford to stay somewhere out of touch with your office? If your answer is yes to any of the above questions, then a signal booster phone is just what you need.

The signal booster does exactly what its name says. It detects and boosts the nearest signal, improving your phone's reception. If you search the market, the prices start from 80,00 euros and reach up to 2.500,00 euros. If you don't have that much money to experiment with but feel like taking the time to build your own booster, check out below eight genius, so to speak, cell phone signal booster ideas we've collected from the.

1. Cheap and simple GSM signal amplifier

You do not need a huge budget or complicated items to build a mobile phone amplifier. Just get any copper wire you can find, a GSM magnetic antenna (cost around € 20,00) and then follow the step-by-step guide shown in the video above to create your signal amplifier.

The result? An extremely effective amplifier for 2G, 3G, 4G LTE mobile phone signals.

2. Homemade portable amplifier 4G, LTE

Do you only need a 4G signal amplifier? Well, its construction is not nuclear science. And you will not need complicated items. You will use handy items such as an iron wire (a hanger does), a magnet to confirm that what you found is indeed an iron wire, a screwdriver, a measuring ruler and a TV cable.

Start by straightening the wire, bending it 45 degrees and following the steps in the YouTube video tutorial above.

3. Signal amplifier from iron hanger

And a second solution to make a signal amplifier from an iron hanger. The process is quite simple.

Simply straighten the iron hanger, peel off the insulation it may have, using a razor blade, bend it to form a rhombus, and then complete the process as shown in the YouTube tutorial above.

So far you have seen very fast constructions, but if you want something more complex to spend the whole weekend happily, take a look at the constructions below.

4. Mobile phone signal amplifier using PCB

If you have an electric soldering iron and circuit boards, this PCB mobile phone amplifier is perfect for you. It will take a little longer to complete than the other builds on our list, but once you are done, you will have a signal amplifier capable of amplifying 2G to 4G network signals.

It is definitely worth the effort, as the above seminar is quite simple and even includes links to more detailed seminars, so you can solve any question you may have.

5. Multi-purpose signal amplifier

You have many cell phones that need signal amplification? Build this multi-purpose signal amplifier and skip the cost of buying a ready-made and expensive amplifier. For this build, you will need copper coils, a transistor, a 30pF variable capacitor, a pair of 200k, 2,2K and 100 ohm resistors, a 27pF capacitor, a 20MHz crystal oscillator, an LED that shows when a PCB is working, and board general purpose to put it all together.

Supplying materials should not cost you much, as they are much cheaper than shopping options. The best piece; Once you have created the copper coils (by wrapping them in a screwdriver), all you need to do is install everything and the reusable signal booster will be ready for use.

6. Signal amplifier made of aluminum foil

We returned to simple constructions. Iron hanger signal amplifiers are easy to make, but what is even easier is a foil amplifier. All you have to do is wrap a piece of copper wire, cut the cable of a 3,5 mm RCA plug, tape one end of the cable to the sheet and connect the end to a socket on your phone to amplify the signal.

It is simple to build and extremely portable, which means you can take it with you on your travels, at the campsite. Most importantly, it is very effective because the foil collects the signals to your phone, inversely increasing the signal amplitude and performance.

For spy movie lovers, we inform you that in addition to strengthening the signal, this easy-to-build signal booster also protects you from , as the foil concentrates signals in only one direction: your phone.

7. Homemade telephone antenna using a copper cable

For this construction, you will need to strip half a meter of copper wire from its insulation and then use it to create a circuit, as shown in the video above. Once done, glue the circuit to a fairly large piece of tape, make sure you cover the other end with tape, place it on the back of your phone and you're ready to go!

You now have a distinctive mobile phone signal booster that you can take with you wherever you go, so you never have to complain about bad network and Wi-Fi signals again.

8. Portable device signal amplifier using a container

If you are still wondering which of the above to do, this signal amplifier can tickle your imagination. And it is also one of the easiest constructions. Simply remove the bottom of a soft drink can, cut out the body as shown in the video, insert a piece of foil inside, and then insert your phone to amplify the signal.

Again, it works because the tab pushes the signals to your phone, which improves the power of Wi-Fi and cellular signals.

What do you gain by making your own signal amplifier?
If you have an appetite and "get your hands dirty", you will have the following benefits and privileges if you make your own mobile phone signal amplifier at home:

Cost reduction
Trademark amplifiers do a great job of eliminating dead zones, but they are quite expensive. An average quality class costs around 300 to 800 euros. With self-construction you significantly reduce costs. In some cases, such as the box or hanger technique, you will not spend a penny, but you will enjoy improved signals.

Longer battery life
Nothing drains your phone's battery faster than poor network reception. When the signal is bad, your phone tries to make up for it by boosting its reception. This speeds up battery drain and affects your phone's ability to hold a charge for longer, as you'll need to recharge it more often. Building one of our easy DIY cell phone boosters helps you eliminate that .

As can be seen in most of the above constructions, a mobile phone signal amplifier is very easy to make. You can choose a simple, portable antenna, or if you like the challenges, make it using a PCB. Whatever you choose, we hope you enjoy the realization of your construction.
