Large antennas, often referred to as parabolic or dish antennas, are primarily used for satellite communication, deep-space exploration, and radio astronomy due to their ability to capture weak signals from distant sources. Small antennas, such as dipole or patch antennas, are commonly used in consumer electronics like smartphones, Wi-Fi devices, and radio receivers, as they provide sufficient range and performance for short-distance communication. Both types are designed to optimize signal reception and transmission based on their respective applications.

The relay for the power antenna on a 95 jeep grand Cherokee is located inside the glove box. You have to remove a panel that is in the "floor" of the glove box and there are several relays in there. There are 6 small relays and 6 large relays, the antenna relay is the top left large relay.
because patch antenna are used in order to achieve higher gain small dimensions, light weight, slim size and easy manufacturing as compared with parabolic dish or other antenna's
An antennule is a small antenna.
There are two types of loop antenna used in radio, small and large. It is a loop of wire usually circular or square with the circuit (transmitter or receiver) connected at the two adjacent open ends. A large loop is one wavelength in circumference and radiates a wave along the axis of the loop. It can also be thought of as a folded half-wave dipole. A small loop also known as a magnetic loop is one tenth of a wavelength or less in circumference and radiates in the plane of the loop. Used as a receiver, a small loop gives an output signal voltage proportional to the magnetic component of the arriving radio wave. Small loops for receiving can be made from a coil of wire on a ferrite rod, and this type of loop is also called a loopstick antenna. Intermediate-sized loops have a rather unpredictable pattern so tend not be used.
Electrically small antennas are always narrow-band. The bandwidth of a small antenna has a theoretical maximum defined by the Chu Limit.
A smart antenna is used to identify signal signature and to track an antenna beam on the target. Some are for beamforming which is used to create the radiation pattern of the antenna.
The Virgin Mobile antenna booster gives you a better signal in your home by virtue of its large antenna.
I think Printed Antenna ( array microstrip antenna)
A car antenna booster is used to 'boost' the radio waves of the car's antenna. This is usually used to improve radio quality and reduce static that might be heard.
It is used to measure small and large quabtities
it is used in space
