Is the receiving antenna radiate radio wave during reception?

A receiving antenna does "re-radiate" some of the power it receives, but not all. Some of the power it receives proceeds into the receiver ... which is the only way we detect the signal being received by the antenna.


Which satellite radio has the best reception?

All satellite radios will have equal reception as they meet a common wireless specification.


Radio reception improves after sunset-why?

If you mean FM/AM radio: Radio reception is based off the bouncing of radio waves off of the upper atmospohere and ionosphere. But in the daylight, the sun causes molecular turbulence in those layers like photodissociation and infrared absorption. Imagine trying to look in a liquid mirror that has a lot of turbulence vs one that is rather stagnant. Sunlight makes the "mirror" of the upper atmosphere and ionosphere turbulent while in comparison the night sky is a more stagnant "mirror" Particularly, radio stations switch to low power mode some point after dark because of the substantial increase in transmission-reception ability. ---- If you mean radio astronomy: Your question is better stated, "why does the signal-to-noise ratio improve after sunset" where "improve" means "increase". Though it is not as dramatic as the visible or infrared emissions, the sun is a strong radio source. As a result, if we are looking for radio signals that are not the sun, then the sun is considered to be part of the background noise. Then after sunset, this noise source is propagating through the earth and not directly into the radio telescopes. As a result, the amplitude or level of noise has decreased and the signal has remained mostly the same and thus the signal-to-noise has increased by dividing by a smaller noise. signal-to-noise is literally "signal divided by noise".

Why does holding your key fob to your chin work for better signal reception?

Holding your key fob to your chin can improve signal reception because the fluids in your head, like saliva and other tissues, act as a conductor for radio waves, helping to amplify the signal.


What cell phone company has the best reception?

I have used T-Mobile and AT&T and have had great reception with them. I never had problems with lost calls or a bad signal. Sprint and Verizon also provide good reception.


Why doesn't satellite TV get good reception on very windy days?

The wind can affect the sattelite reception. If the satellite on your home is not able to send a strong signal to the the main satellite you will not receive a strong reception.

How do cell phone signal boosters work?

Cell phone signal boosters usually use an additional antenna which is placed in an area where reception is relatively stable, often outside. The extra antenna inside will then rebroadcast and amplify the signal to the external antenna - essentially bouncing the signal from point to point until it gets to the spot with good reception.


How do you lose phone reception?

you go out of range. it means if you aren't near or in a town then there is no signal, you can try turning your phone upside down and you might get the reception back.


What do antennas do to enhance the reception of signals?

Antennas enhance signal reception by capturing and transmitting electromagnetic waves, converting them into electrical signals that can be processed by electronic devices.
