Is antenna passive or active component?

An active antenna is an antenna which has an amplifier attached very closely to it. The antenna/amplifier system is called an active antenna. It is used for receiving signals only. The idea is to set the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) before the signal travels along a transmission line where it is susceptible to interference and loss.

How do you replace a ferrite antenna with a whip?

To replace a ferrite antenna with a whip antenna, first, disconnect the ferrite antenna from the device, ensuring the power is off to avoid damage. Then, connect the whip antenna to the same point where the ferrite antenna was attached, ensuring proper orientation and secure connections. Finally, test the device to ensure that the new whip antenna is functioning correctly and providing the desired signal reception. Adjust the positioning of the whip antenna as necessary for optimal performance.
