Abstract

This research was motivated by the conditions when the Covid-19 pandemic occurred, at that time there was a very striking change in the social conditions of the community both in terms of economy, and communication, to problems with the quality of education. Long-distance education has been implemented to reduce the viruses spreading, and education which usually took place in the classroom; then shifted to virtual classes. Another challenge that occurs is the low reception quality of the 4G signal, which certainly impacted learning quality. Although today we are about to start the lecture again in the classroom, the problem of signal reception quality is still the biggest obstacle in communicating over long distances. In this study, the author tries to explore how much potential use of an antenna to improve signal reception quality problems and the economic ability of people in rural areas to assemble them.
