Antennas have a kind of lobe projecting from where mounted. So by moving the antenna it is possible to receive maximum signal and that is referred as orientation.
The CB antenna is made for a limited band of frequencies and the VHF is a wide band antenna made for higher freqs. A CB antenna will not make a good tv antenna. A CB ant. is mounted on the vertical and tv ants. are mounted horiz. in the USA. VHF antennas are much smaller as they are for higher frequencies. Usually, they have many elements (rods) and will go from long in the back to short in the front. Certain CB antennas (beams) are mounted horizontally, but all of the elements are roughly the same length - and about twice as long as a VHF antenna. The elements on a horizontal CB antenna are roughly 18 feet from end to end.
An antenna is for radio reception. Some antennas are visible and usually mounted on the front right side fender. Some antennas back in the eighties were used for car telephones and CB radios and were not installed by the factory. Most remote starting features and some burglar alarms also utilize antennas. Some radio antennas were imbedded in the windshield
The uplink is the transmitter than sends the data up to the satellite. This can take the form of a dish or a highly directional antenna. You typically see these directional antennas mounted on telescoping poles mounted on the top of TV station news vans.
A television repeater can be a TV translator. It receives a distant station thru a receive antenna mounted high on a tower then re-broadcast this signal from transmit antenna(s) on a different channel, mounted on the same tower.

Many people find themselves frustrated with their cell phone's poor reception. Frequently, people attempt to employ cell phone booster antennas to improve their signal. There are two main types of cell phone booster antennas: small ones applied to the outside of the phone and large arrays used to improve coverage in buildings.Personal booster antennasFirst, it is important to research antenna boosters before purchasing one. There are home-consumer cell phone booster antennas that do work. Many cell phones have an external antenna port that is connected to a car kit or another external antenna adapter. Basically, this means plugging the phone into a larger antenna, either mounted on the car like a radio antenna or in the house. By giving the phone a longer antenna, these improve signal strength. Cell phones work on a line of sight system. Added antenna height adds height to the overall device, meaning that the phone is able to get better reception, especially in hilly areas. Without an external antenna port, users are forced to attempt to use one of the wireless adapters which are not as effective. Some people do report slightly improved reception with these stick-on antennas but usually only with antennas made by reputable companies. Always make sure to select an antenna from a reputable wireless company, such as Wilson, LG or Palm, instead of choosing a cheap device.It is important to research antenna boosters before purchasing one Commerical booster antennasOnce again, Wilson is noted for making high-quality booster antennas for office buildings and malls. These boosters are dishes mounted on the roof and are technically called repeater systems. This means that the dish captures the signal and then rebroadcasts it with greater strength. While not practical for home use, these devices are a fantastic choice for large office buildings, schools, hospitals and other buildings that experience difficultly with cell signal.When it comes to choosing a cell phone booster antenna, it is best to choose an additional external antenna that is mounted outside a home or car. Businesses can also install dishes that amplify and rebroadcast the cell signal. Users should always choose a device from a reputable electronics company rather than from a late night TV advertisement or a dollar store.
Well, it's not actually the tower that produces the EMF. It's the RF energy radiated by the antennas that are mounted on the tower. That energy produces EMF in receiving antennas, which alternates (wiggles) at the frequency of the transmitted signal. All of this is very lucky. Without that little EMF induced in the receiving antenna, there would be no such thing as radio communication.
Should be located on the roof in the rear. A black mounted antenna, it can be replaced seperatly.
Radio antenna is In the windshield. Satellite antenna is mounted in the center rear just above the rear window.
i think.... and i only think this, it may not be correct, an antenna transmits as well as receives, an aerial only receives there is no difference between antenna and aerial. According to British spelling it is called Aerial and according to American English antenna. So there is no difference just the English In the U.S. sometimes antenna is used for rigid structures used to transmit or receive radio signals, while aerial is used for a simple wire hung between insulators used to transmit or receive radio signals.
Mounted in the windshield.
