This study aims to determine the dimensions of the antenna and reflector which can optimally work at a frequency of 2.45 GHz. A good antenna is an antenna that has high directive capability, high performance, and inexpensive. In this work, the proposed antenna model was a Bi-Circular Loop (BCL) with a reflector using a frying pan (Wajanbolic). The methods were used in this research for instance computational simulation, fabrication, and characterization. Simulations were carried out using the Finite Different Time Domain (FDTD) technique. The simulation results were compared with the measurement process. In the first simulation, four reflectors sizes could qualify as antennas, namely diameters of 309.00 mm, 335.00 mm, 364.00 mm, and 381.00 mm. The four reflectors sizes were optimized by changing the radius parameter of the BCL antenna. The best results were obtained on the reflector with a diameter of 364.00 mm and a BCL radius of 17.38 mm. The simulation results showed a radiation profile consisting of an RL value of -35.69 dB and a gain value of 16.40 dBi. Based on the fabrication and measurement of the antenna, the RL value was -54.75 dB and the directional antenna gain was 16.00 dBi. An antenna with such performance can be used as a point-to-point Wi-Fi transmitter.
