Homemade Cell Phone Signal Booster

Before we proceed any further, we cannot stress enough that any homemade solution is purely experimental and there are no guarantees that your cell phone reception will be improved in any way. Before resorting to a homemade cell phone signal booster, we suggest that you look into other avenues like commercially available signal boosters, different mobile phones, or other official solutions.

What you will read below are two methods for creating a homemade booster. Neither has been tested by LoveToKnow staff, so do take care if you choose to attempt what is described below.

Typically, there are several reasons why your cell phone reception may be poor, but most commonly it is because of the inhibiting features of walls and other structures that may block the incoming signal. It is also noteworthy than certain phones from certain manufacturers are known to have better reception than others. Do your research before you make any major purchase.

Will a Coat Hanger Work?
Jason O (Username Jdo300) of physicsforums.com discovered a rather interesting quirk with his cell phone. As with so many others, Jason was suffering from rather poor reception in his house. In an effort to actually be able to take and make calls, Jason decided to fashion a homemade cell phone signal booster.

His mobile phone came equipped with a small stubby antenna. What Jason decided to do was to remove this stub and replace it "with a large, homemade one." This homemade signal booster consisted of nothing more than a screw and a metal coat hanger. Although this is far from being any sort of official solution, Jason reports that "it works great despite its obvious cheapness."

To his knowledge, this will only work with cell phones that have external stubby antennas, so if you have something like a Motorola RAZR (which has an internal antenna), it might not work. That said, most cell phone usually have a rubber-covered opening near the back where you can attach an external antenna.

Obviously, you should proceed with caution with any experiments such as this. There is a possibility that you may void your warranty, harm your handset or otherwise cause irreversible damage.

The Coffee Can Booster: Video Tutorial
In looking for the best cell phone signal booster that you can make right at home, we came across a fantastic video from the people at PopSci. The video tutorial -- which you can view on YouTube -- shows you how to construct a rather powerful signal booster using little more than an empty coffee can!

There are obviously other components involved, but the video does an excellent job of walking through the entire construction process. Near the end, Mike Haney mentions that this signal grabber is designed to nab the 1900MHz band, so it's probably most effective with providers like T-Mobile and Rogers Wireless which use this frequency. Check with your mobile operator to see which band/frequency they use.

Bi-Directional 2.4 GHz One Watt Amplifier With Receive Pre-Amp

Some designs are for research only. Advanced microwave and RF design skillz will be required to build these circuits.

This will show you how to add a bi-directional, 2.4 GHz amplifier to your Proxim Symphony for under $100. Bi-directional means you can mount the amplifier at the antenna to help overcome any cable loss, and the amplifier will automatically switch between receive and transmit modes. The cost is reduced by using readily available materials and components. Also, instead of a complicated RF sensing transmit/receive switch, a logic level indication of transmit is sent to the amplifier through a length of low cost coaxial cable. The final RF power output of this amplifier will be around +31 dBm (1.3 watts) and the receive gain is around 16 dB (with a 2 dB noise figure). If adapting for use on direct sequence spread spectrum systems, you'll want to lower the overall P1dB (+28 dBm or so) to keep the RF power amplifier in its linear region. To do this, attenuate the RF input power slightly.
Receive amplification is tricky subject. When done right, it works wonders. When done wrong, your stuck listening to shortwave broadcast stations in Yugoslavia. If you don't need to have the receiver amplifier (due to excess local noise/intermodulation or loss coax loss), just replace it with a stripline jumper. If you're too stupid to figure that out, then please don't build these.
Adaptation to wireless network cards other than the Proxim Symphony should be trivial.

Schematics

Most schematics are in their native Xcircuit PostScript format for ease of printing and modification. To use PostScript under Window$, you'll need to install the Ghostscript & Ghostview packages. Set Media to A2 for ease of viewing.

Construction Notes

Start by reading the data sheet for the RF Micro Devices RF2126 1 watt 8-pin PSOP 2.4 GHz amplifier IC. If you are up to working with this device, call RFMD up at 336-664-1233 and order a few (around $7 each), or ask if they will send you some free engineering samples.
Next, read the data sheet for the Intersil HFA3424 2.4 GHz - 2.5 GHz low noise amplifier. It's also a 8-pin PSOP device. You can order these for around $8 each from Arrow Electronics or Allied Electronics.
Next, read the data sheet for the Intersil RF1K49093 8-pin PSOP power MOSFET. You can order these for around $2 each from Newark Electronics or Allied Electronics.
You'll want to pick up some quality 1/32 inch, double-sided, one ounce oz copper clad FR-4 circuit board. The Injectorall circuit board from Digi-Key is perfect. Its part number is PC44-ND for 3 x 4.5 inches and costs $3.23. Teflon circuit board has better characteristics at microwave frequencies so use that instead if you can find it. Down East Microwave and Rogers sell Teflon board. Note that you will need to change the widths of all the 50 ohm striplines in the schematic due to the lower dielectric constant of Teflon board material.
Now, make the circuit board for the amplifier. You'll have to do this by hand until someone makes me a PCB pattern. Heh. You can use those rub on thingys from Radio Shack (#276-1490) to layout the pattern. The 1 mm wide traces are almost perfect for 50 ohm striplines on 4.34 er, 1/32 inch FR-4 board material (actual width required is 1.4 mm) and the 2 mm traces are perfect 50 ohm for striplines on 2.55 er, 1/32" Teflon board material. Leave large pads for the components that require grounding, and try to remove all the copper around the paths where actual RF energy will flow. Consult the various microwave design books from the ARRL for more information on designing microwave circuits.
Here is a cool strip line calculator CGI to help in the design and analysis of strip line circuits.
Here are some links to help with the fabrication of your own printed circuit board:

• Making Excellent Printed Circuit Boards
• Tips from Mark Weiss
• Making PCBs at home
• PCB Designers Den by George Patrick
• Printed Circuit Prototyping

After your circuit board is etched, you should drill and solder all the ground vias. Those are what connects the top copper plane to the bottom plane on two sided copper clad boards. Do this by drilling small holes where proper grounding is required, then solder a piece of wire in the holes to connect the top and bottom planes. Cut off any excess length of wire flush to the copper plane. You can then start to solder in all the discrete components. Start with the small surface mount capacitors, resistors, and inductors, then move to the larger components. The very last thing to solder in will be the ICs. This is done to protect the ICs from any extended handling. Note that this is all easier said than done
It's also possible to make a receive only pre-amplifier by just replacing the power amplifier section with a 50 ohm stripline, or you can make a power amplifier only by replacing the receive section with a 50 ohm stripline.
It is possible to replace the RF2126 with a lower power or easier to obtain amplifier module. Examples are the WJ Communications AH102 which is good for about 250 mW of RF power (AH102 application note) or maybe even a Sirenza Microdevices SGA-6586 (100 mW). Be sure to watch the input RF powers on both devices.
Other replacement options for 2.4 GHz power amplifier MMICs are: M/A-Com MA02303GJ, Pacific Monoliths PM210x series, Raytheon PA2450, and various 2 GHz PCS phone MMICs.

Insertion, DC Power Input & Control

Stick the entire amplifier board inside a well designed waterproof case (Hammond boxes are perfect) and mount it right next to your antenna installation or on the antenna mast. You should run LMR-400 coax for the RF input feed line. The DC power for the amplifier is also inserted in this line, so you'll have to modify your Symphony to allow that. Run RG-6 quad-shield coax (Radio Shack #278-1317) for the amplifier's control line. Run this along side the RF input feed line and try to keep this line as short as possible. You can use normal F connectors on the control line if you desire.

3. Tap point for the amplifier control line inside the Symphony (blue wire)The 22 ohm resistor is for the higher power modification and is not needed. Refer to the above diagram for more details.
4. Amplifier's DC power insertion point inside the SymphonyIt's also possible to provide the amplifier's DC power through an additional power line. You can do this if you don't want to modify your Symphony for DC power insertion on the RF output. Run the power in another run of RG-6 quad-shield, just like the control line.
5. Overview of the power / control lines for the amplifier

Operation Notes

This bi-directional amplifier uses an external control line to switch between transmit and receive modes. This eliminates the complexity of a homebrew RF sense circuit. The components and design are such that anyone with some experience in microwave circuit construction should be able to build this amplifier. You can then mount this amplifier directly at the antenna or, for a much easier setup, just a few feet away from the Symphony card.

Pictures

View some of the construction pictures. Note that most of these cover prototype and experimental amplifiers.

Cautions & Notes

• You will need to completely shield the amplifier circuit when it's finished. Scrap copper clad PC board is perfect for this.
• Don't remove the control line while the Symphony is in operation or you'll end up transmitting into your receive pre-amp.
• Don't take candy from strangers.
