  2. 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 ...

  3. Indoor antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor_antenna

    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. An indoor antenna is prone to picking up electrical noise, but digital broadcasts are resistant to this noise.

  4. Fractal antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_antenna

    A fractal antenna is an antenna that uses a fractal, self-similar design to maximize the effective length, or increase the perimeter (on inside sections or the outer structure), of material that can receive or transmit electromagnetic radiation within a given total surface area or volume.

  5. TV aerial plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_aerial_plug

    Belling-Lee connectors Flex Type F connectors. A TV aerial plug is a connector used to connect coaxial cables with each other and with terrestrial VHF/UHF roof antennas, antenna signal amplifiers, CATV distribution equipment, TV sets and FM / DAB-radio receivers.

  6. Slot antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slot_antenna

    Slotted array UHF television broadcasting antenna. As shown by H. G. Booker in 1946, from Babinet's principle in optics a slot in a metal plate or waveguide has the same radiation pattern as a driven rod antenna whose rod is the same shape as the slot, with the exception that the electric field and magnetic field directions are interchanged; the antenna is a magnetic dipole instead of an ...

  7. SMATV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMATV

    It provides Reception of DBS TV/FM channels for hotels, motels, dormitories, schools, hospitals and commercial properties with multiple tenants. Using a master antenna system video signals, audio signals and decoder signals can also be distributed. It consists of single outdoor unit or antenna feeding to number of indoor units. [3]

  8. Corner reflector antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corner_reflector_antenna

    Corner reflector UHF TV antenna from 1954 with bowtie dipole driven element. A corner reflector antenna is a type of directional antenna used at VHF and UHF frequencies. [1] [2] It was invented by John D. Kraus in 1938. [3] [4] It consists of a dipole driven element mounted in front of two flat rectangular reflecting screens joined at an angle ...

  9. Smart antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_antenna

    Smart antennas (also known as adaptive array antennas, digital antenna arrays, multiple antennas and, recently, MIMO) are antenna arrays with smart signal processing algorithms used to identify spatial signal signatures such as the direction of arrival (DOA) of the signal, and use them to calculate beamforming vectors which are used to track and locate the antenna beam on the mobile/target.
