  3. Television antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_antenna

    A short antenna pole next to a house Multiple Yagi TV aerials. Antennas are commonly placed on rooftops and sometimes in attics. Placing an antenna indoors significantly attenuates the level of the available signal. [19] [20] Directional antennas must be pointed at the transmitter they are receiving; in most cases great accuracy is not needed ...

    One of the first radomes. The radome (top) covers the H2S radar system rotating antenna (bottom) on a Halifax bomber. A radome is often used to prevent ice and freezing rain from accumulating on antennas. In the case of a spinning radar parabolic antenna, the radome also protects the antenna from debris and rotational irregularities due to wind ...

    A survey without touching anything, and looking at the electrical installation or product before starting any electrical testing. A visual inspection seeks to identify damaged insulation, disconnected wires, incorrect installation, and any other visual issues. Dead testing. Continuity test: a test to check the wiring is correct

  7. Rubber ducky antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_ducky_antenna

    The antenna is made of a narrow helix of wire like a spring, which functions as the needed inductor. The springy wire is flexible, making it less prone to damage than a stiff antenna. The spring antenna is further enclosed in a plastic or rubber-like covering to protect it. The technical name for this type of antenna is a normal-mode helix. [7]

  8. Isolated ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated_ground

    The IG provides an insulated, separate ground path for the ground reference in electronic equipment, such as computers, hospital equipment, and audio equipment. IG does not break ground loops, which can damage equipment like computers, printers, etc.. Interconnected computer equipment often benefits from single-point grounding.

  9. Random wire antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_wire_antenna

    Often random wire antennas are also (inaccurately) referred to as long-wire antennas.There is no accepted minimum size, but actual long-wire antennas must be greater than at least a quarter-wavelength (⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ λ) or perhaps greater than a half (⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ λ) at the frequency the long wire antenna is used for, and even a half-wave may only be considered "long-ish" rather than "truly ...
