From what I have researched and discovered your normal antenna that you have should suffice in picking up the digital signal. Mine at home is working fine with it. Just be careful because the stores are going to try and say you need to get a new antenna when in reality there is not a single difference in design or material or calibration of any sort. That person has not had trouble so far because it has not switched to strictly digital yet.
A Hertz antenna refers to a type of dipole antenna that was invented by the German physicist Heinrich Hertz. It is a simple antenna design with two conductive elements used for transmitting or receiving electromagnetic waves at radio frequencies.
The radiation resistance of a folded dipole antenna is typically higher than that of a simple dipole antenna, approximately 300 ohms compared to 73 ohms. This increase in radiation resistance helps improve the efficiency and performance of the antenna. The folded design allows for a more compact structure while maintaining good radiation characteristics.
The Yagi array allows a significant increase in antenna gain (expressed in dBi or Db over isotropic) by the simple addition of parasitic elements to a dipole or folded dipole.
I don't think it has. Bandwidth depends on the diameter to length ratio of the antenna. The greater the diameter of the elements the wider the bandwidth. The inductance goes down and the capacitance goes up, giving the antenna a lower Q. the folded dipole has a greater effective diameter (at least double for the same materials). You can increase a normal dipole's bandwidth by increasing the diameter, hence the old time birdcage aerials.
A dipole antenna, is a radio antenna that can be made of a simple wire, with a center-fed driven element. It consists of two metal conductors of rod or wire, oriented parallel and collinear with each other (in line with each other), with a small space between them. The radio frequency voltage is applied to the antenna at the center, between the two conductors. These antennas are the simplest practical antennas from a theoretical point of view. They are used alone as antennas, notably in traditional "rabbit ears" television antennas, and as the driven element in many other types of antennas, such as the Yagi. Dipole antennas were invented by German physicist Heinrich Hertz around 1886 in his pioneering experiments with radio waves.
I have not seen any digital TVs with a built in antenna. Depending on where you live you could use a simple "rabbit ears" setup or even one with a built in amplifier if you're a bit far from the stations.
To make a passive antenna, you need a conductive material, such as copper wire, to form the antenna's elements. Cut the wire to the desired length, typically around half the wavelength of the frequency you want to receive. Shape the wire into a simple design, like a dipole or loop, and connect it to a coaxial cable or directly to your radio receiver. Finally, ensure the antenna is properly positioned and grounded for optimal reception.
All types... depending on frequency and application. Lower frequency RFID's are typically near field and use inductive antenna designs, higher frequency ones use far-field designs. Low frequency RFID's like the TIRIS pet ID's use coils of wound wire. HF type RFID's like MiFARE use simple planar loop antenna designs. Most VHF RFID's use dipole and modified dipole designs with reflector elements. UHF and microwave RFID's frequently use patch and slot antenna designs.
A thin wire antenna, such as a dipole or monopole, is a simple and efficient antenna design that is often used for receiving or transmitting radio signals. The current distribution on a thin wire antenna is non-uniform and varies along the length of the wire. At the center (feedpoint) of the antenna, the current is typically at its maximum, decreasing towards the ends. This current distribution creates a radiation pattern that determines the directionality and gain of the antenna.
The number of segments in an antenna can vary widely depending on its design and purpose. For example, a simple dipole antenna typically has two segments, while more complex antennas, such as Yagi-Uda antennas, can have multiple elements or segments. Additionally, some antennas, like phased array antennas, can have dozens of segments to achieve specific directional properties. Ultimately, the number of segments is determined by the antenna's intended application and design specifications.
For a Sharp Aquos non-HDTV, an indoor antenna with good reception capabilities is typically the best choice, such as a simple dipole or a loop antenna. These antennas can effectively capture VHF and UHF signals, which are commonly used for analog broadcasts. It's essential to position the antenna near a window or high up to improve signal strength and reduce interference. If you are in an area with weak signals, a powered indoor antenna may provide better results.
