A YAGI UHF antenna is made to be very directional and receive all the UHF frequencies better than any others. In the US, some digital stations are still on the upper VHS band, channels 7 to 13. More info can be found at www.tvfool.com.
The frequencies used for these excursions in the sixties were in the UHF band and never made public. It is anyone's guess if this will ever be made public as NASA is under no mandate to make it public, ever. Today, frequencies used would probably also be in the UHF range, but is a very closely guarded secret, especially if you take into consideration the communication between Mars landed vehicles and earth.
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (February 22, 1857 - January 1, 1894) was a German physicist who clarified and expanded the electromagnetic theory of light that had been put forth by Maxwell. He was the first to satisfactorily demonstrate the existence of electromagnetic waves by building an apparatus to produce and detect VHF or UHF radio waves.They named the term hertz, which refers to the frequency radio waves cycle at per second, after him...Also, does everyone on here not know how to use google for simple stuff?
Yes, a UHF antenna can pick up VHF signals, but not well. The size difference makes the uhf antenna "inefficient" for the longer vhf wave length, but some energy can be received by the uhf antenna.
No, this is not a wise move to make. The antenna metals are not the same. you have to know that antenna metals are different within all Mhz. 2nd- The connectors are different. CB has a wider coax connector and Uhf us smaller. Radio Range/ distance will be less if you use a short wave antenna known as CB. Best to get a High wave antenna- UHF. 27 Mhz is cb radio and the waves are low and long (about 11 meters). 400-460 Mhz is UHF and the waves are high and short (about 67 centimeters). You would need a UHF radio antenna to get the best SWR. Installing a UHF antenna on a car it would require a proper uhf antenna and coax and drilling and using only a UHF Coax cable with the connector. Or buy the Uhf magnet antenna. They are hard to find in your local city and they are pricy because you cant buy them used or at cb shops. you will have to buy one online or go to a Junk yard and find a Police car that has one on top of car. You can Mod Coax cables only if its a UHF cable and antenna. Grounding a car UHF antenna in house can be difficult. Don't run ground to AC ground! you can damage radio. Run Ground wire to the dirt outside and dig a hole and fix with a little water and keep hot coax separated from ground on uhf. Best is to run this to Gutter on roof. Do not MOD CB coaxes with UHF antenna or mix with magnet antenna or CB, VHF, Marine radios. You will waste your time. 800 Mhz police antenna will be your closest match if you decide to do this. It goes by the wave and wave length. Keep Digging
You need a VHF/UHF antenna (channels 2 to 60 ). Check out: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/digitaltv.html
Yes, you typically need an antenna to receive UHF channels, as they are broadcast over radio waves. The type of antenna can vary depending on your location and the strength of the broadcast signals. A properly positioned and suited UHF antenna can significantly improve your reception quality. In some cases, certain televisions may have built-in antennas, but external antennas are often recommended for optimal performance.
First, you need an antenna that is both uhf and vhf comaptible. Usuaully it will have a pair of rabbit ears (vhf) and a center loop or plate (uhf). Make sure the rabbit ears are completely extended then just re-scan your channels on your digital box or your hdtv.
Yes, your old UHF antenna should work with digital TV signals, as digital broadcasts in the UHF band are compatible with UHF antennas. However, the performance may vary depending on the antenna's age and condition, as well as its design. If you're located far from the broadcast towers or in a challenging reception area, you might need a more modern antenna for optimal signal quality. It's always a good idea to check for any specific requirements in your area.
There are many retailers that sell UHF antennas. Examples of retailers that sell UHF antennas include Amazon, Overstock, Best Buy, Staples, Target, and Walmart.
A VHF/UHF antenna is the correct one for HDTV. If you are using a indoor antenna, the amplified ones are better.
A plasma TV set is just like any other TV set on the market. It can accept video/audio signals from an VHF/UHF antenna if it has an aerial VHF/UHF antenna input. It can also accept DVB-C or DVDB-S or DVB-T through the same antenna input. You have to refer to the manual that came with your plasma TV set to see what types of signals it can receive through its antenna input.

To repair a TV indoor antenna for UHF and VHF, first inspect the antenna for visible damage, such as broken elements or loose connections. Tighten any loose screws and use electrical tape to secure any frayed wires. If the antenna has a built-in amplifier, check the power supply and replace it if necessary. Finally, reposition the antenna to improve reception, ensuring it is placed near a window or high up to minimize obstructions.
Getting a VHF antenna will allow the TV to have a strong signals and get the programs that you would need. Also, UHF could be another alternative to VHF.
