2. Antenna types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

   The category of simple antennas consists of dipoles, monopoles, and loop antennas. Nearly all can be made with a single segment of wire (ignoring the break made in the wire for the feedline connection). [citation needed] Dipoles and monopoles called linear antennas (or straight wire antennas) since their radiating parts lie along a single ...

3. Television antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_antenna

   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 advantageous for reception and antenna longevity. Outdoor antennas are more expensive and difficult to install but are necessary for adequate reception in fringe ...

4. Amateur television - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_television

   Analog big-dish satellite television receivers may be re-purposed for inexpensively receiving ATV in this band. Such receivers can decode FM television when an outdoor antenna is connected to the LNB input. Due to the low cost and ease of repurposing old analog satellite receivers, this is the most popular band for FM amateur TV.

5. Dipole antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna

   Half-wave folded dipoles are often used for FM radio antennas; versions made with twin lead which can be hung on an inside wall often come with FM tuners. They are also widely used as driven elements for rooftop Yagi television antennas. The T²FD antenna is a folded dipole with a resistor added on the second wire, opposite the feedpoint.

6. 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 ...

7. Loop antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_antenna

   AM broadcast receivers (and other low frequency radios for the consumer market) typically use small-loop antennas, even when a telescoping antenna may be attached for FM reception. [12] A variable capacitor connected across the loop forms a resonant circuit that also tunes the receiver's input stage as that capacitor tracks the main tuning. A ...
