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 ...
Female Belling-Lee connector on a television set. The Belling-Lee connector (also type 9,52, but largely only in the context of its specification, IEC 61169, Part 2: Radio-frequency coaxial connector of type 9,52) [1] is commonly used in Europe, parts of Southeast Asia, and Australia, to connect coaxial cables with each other and with terrestrial VHF/UHF roof antennas, antenna signal ...
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.
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.
Reflective array 'billboard' antenna of the SCR-270 radar, an early US Army radar system. It consists of 32 horizontal half wave dipoles mounted in front of a 17 m (55 ft) high screen reflector. With an operating frequency of 106 MHz and a wavelength of 3 m (10 ft) this large antenna was required to generate a sufficiently narrow beamwidth to ...
Inevitably some antennas won't conveniently fit into any one basic type, so the last section on real antennas is an "everything else" category for a few peculiar antennas that don't fit cleanly into any of the categories or subcategories used in this article; for example, random wire antennas and antennas that are laid down on the ground ...
NMO mount connector (new Motorola mount), removable mobile antenna connector uses a 3 ⁄ 4 inch (19 mm) mounting hole and has a large base with a 1 1/8" – 18 tpi thread for attaching the antenna. SC connector, screw version of C connector [not to be confused with the fiber optic connector of the same name]
TV antenna manufacturers often rated their top-of-the-line "deep-fringe" antenna models with phrases like "100 miles VHF/60 miles UHF" if the antenna included UHF reception at all. (In the practice of electrical engineering , the frequency range in which an antenna is to be used is an important factor in its design.)
