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.
The most common types of indoor antennas are the dipole [2] ("rabbit ears"), which work best for VHF channels, and loop antennas, which work best for UHF. [3] Outdoor antennas on the other hand are designed to be mounted on a mast on top of the owner's house, [ 4 ] or in a loft or attic where the dry conditions and increased elevation are ...
The length is not critical, typically from one to two wavelengths end-to-end, but for any given length and frequency, there is an optimum acute angle at which the sections should meet. A horizontal rhombic antenna radiates horizontally polarized radio waves at a low elevation angle off the acute end of the antenna opposite the feedline.
Antenna diversity, also known as space diversity or spatial diversity, is any one of several wireless diversity schemes that uses two or more antennas to improve the quality and reliability of a wireless link. Often, especially in urban and indoor environments, there is no clear line-of-sight (LOS) between transmitter and receiver. Instead the ...
In many cases, TVI is caused by a high field strength of a nearby high frequency (HF) transmitter, the aerial down lead plugged into the back of the TV acts as a longwire antenna or as a simple vertical element. The radio frequency (RF) current flowing through the tuner of the TV tends to generate harmonics which then spoil the viewing.
Spoiler alert: It’s probably not a ghost, although it comes natural to think, “Great, my house is haunted. Better call the Ghostbusters.” But before you google their number, let’s pause ...
