Antennas are primarily designed for transmission of radio wave energy through free space or any space where the movement of energy in any direction is substantially unimpeded, such as interplanetary space (such as the interplanetary medium or interstellar medium), the atmosphere, the ocean (and other large bodies of water), or the Earth.
Complex impedance of an antenna is related to the electrical length of the antenna at the wavelength in use.
The "polarization" of an antenna is the orientation of the electric field (E-plane) of the radio wave with respect to the Earth's surface and is determined by the physical structure of the antenna and by its orientation.

 Combination outdoor daytime/nighttime advertising billboard - Patent 5570138
A combination outdoor daytime/nighttime outdoor advertising display billboard is provided having a surface for displaying a fixed image during the daytime and a projection screen apparatus which automatically unrolls to present a projection screen for displaying a projected image during the nighttime.
A billboard bearing a fixed advertising image is hinged along one edge to enable it to be swung into close adjacent contact with the translucent screen for viewing from the outside during daylight hours.
In this manner, the billboard 12 may be used in the conventional manner during the daytime as it is unaffected by the presence of the projection screen apparatus 30.

It is possible to actually receive a good quality signal at the antenna and have it degraded by poor installation practices and low cost components to the point where the picture is very grainy at the TV set.
The smaller the antenna, the lower it's gain (ability to receive) is. A small antenna may be cosmetically pleasing, but it will usually fall far short of good reception in our area.
The national electrical code requires an antenna system to be grounded to a ground rod that is a minimum of eight feet long.

Antenna gain - In antenna design, gain is the logarithm of the ratio of the intensity of an antenna's radiation pattern in the direction of strongest radiation to that of a reference antenna.
Smart antenna - Smart Antenna refers to a system of antenna arrays with smart signal processing algorithms that are used to identify the direction of arrival (DOA) of the signal, and use it to calculate beamforming vectors, to track and locate the antenna beam on the mobile/target.
Reflective array antenna - In telecommunication, a reflective array antenna is an antenna, such as a billboard antenna, in which the driven elements are situated at a predetermined distance from a surface designed to reflect the signal in a desired direction.

 John Conover: Terminated Tilted Folded Dipole Shortwave Antenna
Four standard 1 inch OD threaded eyelets were used for antenna wire attachments to the center container, with retaining nuts on the inside of the container-the antenna wire fastened directly to the eyelets, and a separate wire soldered to each antenna wire which connected to the resistor and balun mounted internally in the center container.
The antenna's performance was evaluated in an A-B comparison, (using a Drake R8, dipole cut for 9.545 MHz., broadside to Swiss Radio International from Northern California, W2AU Grove double to single ended balun.) Both antennas produced the same S unit response, (about S 9,) without preamplification.
The impedance of the T2FD antenna was measured, (through a connection of 5 feet of RG58 using a Palomar noise bridge,) at 0.25 MHz.

 Dr. Beverage on the Beverage -- antenna special on hard-core-dx.com
The beauty of the wave antenna is that it is not tuned to anything except periodic, and it receives a wide band of wave-lengths equally well.
Beverage: When one antenna is low, there will be a very great probability that the other antenna will have a high signal, so you just combine those so that the phase doesn't bother you--rectify the signal or something--so that fills in and keeps you from losing the signal to the drop outs.
A wave antenna was erected at Belfast, Maine for this wavelength, and the Daventry signals were relayed to Riverhead on the 100-meter transmitter and broadcast for the first time by WJZ in 1924.

 Defense Tech: Airport Defense: Lasers, Microwaves
The fact that this possible radio-frequency/microwave jamming system is described as having a "billboard" antenna indcates that it is a phased-array antenna system.
As a result the waves of signals coming from the antenna array's individual panels tend to cancel each other out EXCEPT in one particular direction where the timing ("phasing") of these signals just happens to enable all of the individual emmissions to line up exactly...and I mean EXACTLY.
Futhermore, because a phased-array antenna has no moving parts, it is instantly steerable onto a target and precise enough to "hit" only the missile and not the aircraft being defended.

 Don't Touch that Radio Button, You're on Billboard Detection | TG Daily   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Langeland claims that the billboards possess technology that is designed to identify the radio frequencies of drivers passing by the billboards.
Langeland claims to be able to deduce certain listener demographic information from the radio stations of the drivers, and then display "customized" advertising on the billboards based on their income, race, sex and buying habits of that group of passing motorists.
Critics argue that the radio frequency signals of such a large number of drivers passing a particular billboard at a high rate of speed cannot accurately be detected and that the data deduced from the detection is thus not very reliable.

I was wondering if, connected, the radio antenna will provide any boost, or if the fact that one is analog and the other digital will kill the process and/or the radio antenna doesn't cover my cell phone frequency, which is 2000mHz.
I have limited experience with engineering, but I do know that your radio antenna and cell phone should be on a different frequency; this is why you don't pick up radio stations while talking on your cell and your call doesn't interfere with radio broadcasts.

 CD Baby: PHILIP FOXMAN: Up Antenna
Which fused shades of countrified pop-folk tunes with dark story telling on "Up Antenna" Foxman and his band have stretched out by incorporating atmospheric tones, flourishes of electronica to their acoustic rock, creating a broader more universal sound.
Combining the pop sensibilities of Crowded House with observational and self-reflective lyrics, Philip Foxman is a welcome hark-back to the days where the words meant something and the melody remained in your head for days without driving you to distraction.
Up Antenna is the solo album Philip Foxman has been threatening for so long – ten songs so delicately crafted from classic melodies and poetic lyrics that, in the finest composer’s tradition, makes his artist anal skills sound deceptively simple.

By comparison, Cave In's latest album, Antenna, isn't nearly so bad--nor is it as bad as R.E.M.'s Monster, Public Enemy's Muse Sick-N-Hour Message or Eric Clapton's There's One in Every Crowd (featuring a reggae version of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot").
But wanting to be fair and balanced in our assessment of Antenna, we took the issue directly to the source, Cave In founder and frontman Stephen Brodsky.
When I was younger, emo records always had lots of screaming--to the point where the screaming was sometimes ear-piercing, almost as if you were using a bad needle on your record player.

Another inconsistency is that if a larger property was to be acquired by eminent domain for another public use, such as say a water reservoir or sewer plant, wouldn’t the condemning entity be required to pay value-added just compensation for a fiber optic easement or lease?
In many cases paying a competitive higher price to attach lines, antennas, or switching equipment to utility poles is often the least costly alternative when compared with placing such facilities in public streets, in rail road corridors, on building rooftops, or erecting new pole lines.

Property OWNERS already enjoy the right to install these antennas; that right was not the subject of the current appeal.
While they may argue that the physical length of the loading coil is only a few inches, the FCC would look at the "electrical length" because of the effect it has on antenna efficiency.
Of course, the length of the ground lead is now greater than three meters (much less the combined length with the antenna and connecting lead) and the system no longer complies with the FCC's requirements - and increases the chances of causing interference to authorized stations.
