Abstract

This research aims to analyze path loss in data communication using the 802.11ac standard at a frequency of 5,185 MHz in the city of Padang. We collected data on environmental parameters, including air temperature ranging from 24.44°C to 31.11°C, relative humidity between 77% and 96%, dew point from 24.4°C to 26.11°C, and wind speed, over a period of four consecutive weeks. Additionally, we measured technical network parameters like signal strength, noise, and throughput at a 1.5 km distance between two towers, each measuring 28 meters and 25 meters in height. Environmental conditions, particularly humidity and wind speed, influence path loss, according to the research results. In the measurement, the received signal varies from -44 dBm to -49 dBm, while the noise is in the range of -90 dBm to -92 dBm. The throughput generated also varies between 259.2 Mbps and 295.2 Mbps. We discovered that high humidity and low wind speed lead to an increase in throughput, suggesting that weather conditions influence the quality of data transmission. This research provides important insights into the planning and optimization of 802.11ac wireless networks in urban areas, particularly for improving service quality under various environmental conditions

Abstract

This study examines the influence of relative humidity (RH) on the electrochemical and structural properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite films reinforced with MXene, zinc oxide (ZnO), and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). Composite films were fabricated via solvent casting and conditioned at RH levels of 50%, 75%, and 94%. Cyclic voltammetry and four-point probe tests revealed substantial enhancements in current density, specific capacitance, and bulk conductivity with increasing RH, attributed to improved ionic mobility and interfacial polarization. X-ray diffraction indicated reduced crystallinity due to polymer swelling, while scanning electron microscopy showed enhanced MXene dispersion at higher RH. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed intensified hydroxyl interactions, reflecting increased hydrophilicity. These humidity-induced improvements suggest promising applications in humidity-responsive flexible electronics and sensors. However, potential trade-offs include reduced mechanical stability under prolonged exposure. The findings offer new insights for optimizing hydrophilic polymer composites to enhance environmental adaptability and advanced device performance.

Abstract

Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) oleh Kelompok Bidang Keahlian (KBK) Telekomunikasi, Departemen Teknik Elektro, Fakultas Teknik Universitas Andalas dilaksanakan dengan tujuan mendukung peningkatan kualitas syiar Islam melalui pemanfaatan teknologi multimedia di Mushalla Al-Mahira, Kelurahan Aie Pacah. Program yang dilaksanakan pada 22 November 2025 ini berfokus pada penyediaan dan pengenalan perangkat teknologi, terutama sistem audio dan multimedia, sebagai sarana pendukung dakwah yang lebih efektif dan menarik. Kegiatan dipimpin oleh Baharuddin, MT, dengan dukungan Ketua Program Studi Teknik Elektro, Dr. Eng. Primas Emiraldi, serta partisipasi dosen KBK Telekomunikasi lainnya. Tim PkM memberikan perangkat sound system serta satu unit vacuum cleaner sebagai upaya peningkatan fasilitas mushalla, sekaligus memberikan pelatihan penggunaan perangkat agar dapat dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa penerapan teknologi multimedia mampu meningkatkan kualitas penyampaian materi dakwah, memperbaiki kenyamanan jamaah, dan memperkuat kapasitas pengurus mushalla dalam pengelolaan sarana ibadah. Program ini menegaskan peran penting perguruan tinggi dalam transfer teknologi kepada masyarakat sebagai bagian dari pelaksanaan tridarma akademik.
