What is the purpose of the antenna on a radio and TV set?
Pick up the electromagnetic radiation (in the radio or TV bands) so that it can be brought into the set as electrical signals. This is analogous to the purpose of your eyes: pick up the electromagnetic radiation (visible light) so that the information can be brought into your brain as nerve impulses. However the antenna is usually just passive, whereas you eyes contain much of the active processing "circuits" that extract information that would be inside the radio or TV set.
Can you replace an XM radio antenna with any other antenna like a 3ft hard cb antenna?
You can replace an XM radio antenna with a CB antenna, a ham 40-meter mobile antenna, a cellphone antenna, a GPS antenna, a TV antenna, a wire coat hanger, a 6 GHz microwave antenna, or a chain of paperclips. However, since none of them is optimized to operate at the frequencies of XM radio, like the XM antenna is, none of the others will work as well. Most of them will likely be so inefficient at the satellite radio frequencies that when you use one of those, you hear nothing at all on your radio.
