it depends on existing amplifier or not , if after antenna there's an amplifier it called active else it called passive which less sensitive that active .

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.


Is an Aeriel on the roof a standard or an active antenna?

An active antenna is powered antenna, this includes a RF amplifier and a power supply so it must be "plugged in" somewhere. A standard "passive" antenna has no amplifier.


What is passive antenna?

A passive antenna is an antenna that is not powered by an amplifier.


Are capacitors active or passsive devices?

A capacitor is to electricity as a glass is to water. Both are passive devices, they can be filled and they can be emptied.


What is active devices?

An active device amplifies the signal by some value - such as an active filter using an OPAMP. A passive device does not provide any amplification - such as a passive filter network of inductors and capacitors.


Is an antenna active device?

Why is an inductor called as passive device where as a resistor is called active device?

They are both passive devices. An active device is a device that uses semiconductors (or tubes) to process signals instead of using the natural processes of capacitance, inductance or resistance.
