The parabolic antenna is really not an antenna at all - but a collector/reflector, which catches and concentrates RF (radio frequency) into a tiny antenna mounted above the dish, pointed into the dish. Since satellites transmit at very high frequencies (microwave), the actual antenna can be shorter than one inch. To strenghen the signal and make aiming the antenna at the satellite easier, the parabolic reflector picks up a wider area of RF.

Does satellite radio work in inclement weather?
People who use satellite dishes for television reception are more apt to lose reception during inclement weather than someone who has a satellite radio. The difference is the dish and antenna. The dish is pointed in just one direction, while the antenna is omnidirectional. Because of this, those with satellite radios can still enjoy reception during inclement weather.
Can a xm satellite radio antenna be used for a cell phone antenna?
An XM satellite radio antenna cannot be used as a cell phone antenna as they use a different type of connection. Satellite signals operate on a different frequency from cell phones and use different technologies in their antennas as well.
Where is the radio antenna located on a 2000 Lincoln Navigator I have no reception but all other features work?
the antenna is in the right rear side glass.
Can you use a home Sirius satellite antenna in your car?
Sure you can. Just wrap it around your car's antenna.
What to do about my poor radio reception when the antenna does come up?
They sell amplifiers to boost the signal ;)

Does anything disturb the Universal Satellite Radio Antenna?
In general it's better not to have thick trees between the antenna and the satellites,but if you install it correctly it should give you good home reception.
Can you use a Direct TV antenna as a regular antenna for home use?
No, a DirecTV antenna is specifically designed for satellite reception and cannot be used as a regular over-the-air antenna for home use. While it may capture some signals, it is not optimized for broadcasting frequencies typical of local TV stations. For regular TV viewing, it’s best to use an antenna designed for terrestrial television reception.
Where is Sirius satellite radio in a 2009 Ford Fusion antenna?
In a 2009 Ford Fusion, the Sirius satellite radio antenna is typically mounted on the roof of the vehicle. It is designed to receive satellite signals and is usually located towards the rear, often near the center or towards the back of the roofline. The antenna's placement helps ensure optimal reception for the satellite radio service while minimizing interference from other vehicle components.
What does an old tv need to get antenna reception?
To receive antenna reception, an old TV typically needs an external antenna, which can be either an indoor or outdoor type, depending on the reception quality required. Additionally, if the TV does not have a built-in digital tuner, a separate digital converter box is necessary to decode digital signals. Finally, proper connection using coaxial cables between the antenna, converter box (if applicable), and the TV is essential for optimal reception.
Can a car radio and a car satellite radio share an antenna?
Yes, a car radio and a car satellite radio can share an antenna if the antenna is designed for both types of signals, typically referred to as a dual-band or multi-band antenna. However, in many cases, separate antennas are used to optimize reception quality for each service. It's important to check compatibility and any necessary adapters when attempting to share an antenna between the two systems.
Antenna Boosters Increase the Surface for Cell Phone Reception?
Cell phone antenna boosters work much like satellite dishes by helping to capture and emit stronger signals. This, in theory, means stronger and clearer reception. The quality of the boosting antenna, however, is often related to the price of the device. As a passive device, the antenna booster is placed behind the phone's fixed antenna or on the rear surface. Booster antennas provide larger surfaces for cell phones to receive signals from transmitting towers.
What is a Spherical antenna protector called?
It is called RADOMES
Why does the rav4 have an antenna?
The Rav4 has an antenna for the same reason that most vehicles have an external antenna, to optimize radio wave reception.
If you have a digital tv and an outdoor antennae do you need a converter box?
In the US the answer is probably not. Digital and analog TV broadcasts use the same frequencies and antennas. Digital TV is more fussy about signal quality than the older analog signals. So if you get marginal analog reception, figure on getting a new antenna for digital. The idea that there are special HDTV antennas is just marketing hype. Any antenna that gives you better digtial reception will also give you better digital reception.
Can you grounded a antenna with a wire?
no it will mess up the reception
