They are very small but printed as a fractal which means that while small they are quite long in detail.
The size of the dish isn't as important as the length of the antenna. The antenna is INSIDE the little can at the focus of the dish. The length of the antenna is tuned to the wavelength of the frequency being received.
A thin antenna has nothing to do with the physical size of the antenna. Any antenna whose length is less than (1/10) of the wavelength of the signal is thin antenna. A linear antenna is one in which the current distribution is linear or bears a linear relationship with some parameter, say voltage of the antenna...... Mukesh
Manufacturers' site and telephone companies sites are some best sites to go if you want to check exact sizes of cellphones. They usually put up pictures of cellphones with dimension and size comparison with other stuff, for example, a pen's size versus the cellphone's.
Turning up the transmitter power is a good way to insure that more cellphones, farther away, can hear the base station. But it doesn't to anything to help the base station hear the cellphones that are farther away. The only way to increase the coverage range reciprocally is to do something with the antenna. But that's a catch-22 . . . a higher-gain antenna has a narrower beam-width. So it works farther out, but only through a narrower 'window' of directions.

The size of an antenna depends upon the frequecny of the RF signal and the gain.
Advantages of Antenna:- -They are cheap and exhibit good gain. -It delivers good performance with a size less than a dipole antenna. -They are cheap and not simply de-tuned by hand movements. -The size is less than the whip antenna. It can be used for wideband applications. -It is a very directive antenna and provides a good amount of gain. -They are very simple and a bit antenna. They are practiced in smartphones due to their thin structure. -They are very small in size and are less affected due to environmental factors. They are separate components. -They are simple in design and are poorer in size. They are robust in nature. Disadvantages of Antenna:- -They exhibit a large size at a lower frequency. -The higher cost is a major disadvantage. A better ground plane is needed to achieve good performance. -They have poor addition, difficult to tune and are very narrowband. -The major problem of this type of antenna is difficulty in feeding it. -They are bulky in size. They are de-tuned by nearby objects very easily. -They are larger in size at a lower frequency and hence it is difficult to design them for frequencies less than 433 MHz.
An antenna picks up waves by converting electromagnetic fields into electrical signals. When radio waves interact with the antenna, they induce an alternating current within the antenna which is then processed by the connected circuitry to extract information or energy from the waves. The size and shape of the antenna determine which frequencies it is most sensitive to.
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.
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
Many different forms of aerial are used in a cellphone tower. Site linking point to point is usually dishes. An Omni-directional is usually used for linking to cellphones.
