Do European cars have radio antennas?
yes European cars have antennas i own a 1994 golf gti that was made in Italy and it has one
Why cars antennas point vertically?
Best for reception that way.
Why the antenna of radio are vertical?
Not all radio antennas are vertical.The main reason radio antennas tend to be vertical is convenience of mounting. Many early radio antennas were long horizontal wires strung between two poles or trees. This was also a matter of convenience in mounting such a long antenna (e.g. 50 feet to 100 feet in length).When you are operating radios in the VHF or UHF band a vertical or horizontal mounting of the short antennas used at these frequencies might be selected to improve reception of a polarized radio signal sent by the transmitter.
What is the minimum vertical distance you must maintain between the midpoints of the transmit and receive antennas?
5ft. (1.5 m)

What are the options for car radio antenna types?
The options for car radio antennas include internal car antennas, external car antennas, power antennas, and satellite antennas. The internal antenna is the least effective and most cars come with either the external fixed antenna or the power antenna unless their is a satellite radio in the car and then it is a satellite antenna.
Any current car models that have old fashioned car antennas?
No, most modern cars and trucks do not have old fashioned antennas. This is because they are now considered unnecessary, and very aesthetically unpleasing.
Why circular polarisation is not used for mw sdh or mw pdh radio backbone transmission link?
Linear vertical or horizontal polarization is normally used in microwave transmission. Reasons: Circularly polarized antennas are more complex and more expensive, because they are actually double polarized antennas, i.e. a combination of horizontal and vertical polarizations. Rain attenuation is lowest when the polarization is vertical. Therefore longer hops can be built if circular polarization is avoided.
Where are antenas in cars?
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
Why aircraft vhf antennas are polatised vertically?
Aircraft can approach an antenna from any direction, so antennas need to be omni ("all") directional in the horizontal plane. Early on, the easiest way to get omnidirectionality was to use vertical polarisation, and it's also the simplest kind of antenna - a simple rod or wire (of the right length) works just fine. Subsequent antenna design has produced omnidirectional antennas with horizontal polarisation, but there are no significant advantages, and the design/construction is more complex than a vertical equivalent.
What is th best scanner antenna?
Any omnidirectional antenna is a good choice. Many people swear by the Diamond brand discone antennas, but many manufacturers make similar, equally good antennas. If you have a little time, you can even make your own omnidirectional antenna out of an SO-239 connector and some wire and solder. Omnidirectional antennas generally have a vertical section and at least four sections pointing down at 45 degrees. Discone antennas are similar, but have a horizontal disc (or array) in addition to or instead of the vertical element. Any antenna will have better reception with more height and a good low-loss coaxial cable.
