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 the Difference between active filters and passive filters?

Active transducers are those which require electric current (a source of energy) for working, while passive transducers are those which does not need an external source. Passive transducers directly produce electric signals without an external energy source.

Is relay active or passive?

Relays can be both active and passive components, depending on how they are used in a circuit. When a relay is used as a switch to control a larger current circuit, it is considered an active component. When a relay is used to isolate one circuit from another without actively controlling the flow of current, it is considered a passive component.
