2. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_(radio)

   Antennas which are not a significant fraction of a wavelength in size are inevitably inefficient due to their small radiation resistance. AM broadcast radios include a small loop antenna for reception which has an extremely poor efficiency. This has little effect on the receiver's performance, but simply requires greater amplification by the ...

3. Very high frequency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_high_frequency

   For directional antennas, the Yagi antenna is the most widely used as a high gain or "beam" antenna. For television reception, the Yagi is used, as well as the log-periodic antenna due to its wider bandwidth. Helical and turnstile antennas are used for satellite communication since they employ circular polarization.

4. 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 ...

5. Indoor antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor_antenna

   TV set-top indoor antenna ("Rabbit Ears") for VHF and UHF reception. An indoor antenna is a type of radio or TV antenna placed indoors, as opposed to being mounted on the roof. They are usually considered a simple and cheap solution to receive transmissions.

6. Medium wave - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_wave

   For reception at frequencies below 1.6 MHz, which includes long and medium waves, loop antennas are popular because of their ability to reject locally generated noise. By far the most common antenna for broadcast reception is the ferrite-rod antenna, also known as a loopstick antenna. The high permeability ferrite core allows it to be compact ...
