You might be wondering, in what direction do I point my antenna? Well, the truth is that pointing your antenna in the right direction guarantees optimal broadcast signal reception from TV stations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Normally, the right direction is towards the broadcasting tower in the absence of obstructions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can employ online tools or a signal tester and compass to identify the broadcasting tower direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And before you install the antenna, you must consider the possible obstructions and the geographical terrain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today\u2019s article helps you understand the perfect antenna position and direction for optimal signal reception. Let\u2019s get rolling!<\/p>\n\n\n
The front part is the active or radiating element and is responsible for emitting or receiving electromagnetic waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generally, we position the active element perpendicular to the radiation direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, in A Yagi antenna, the active element is the driven element, while in a dipole antenna<\/a>, it\u2019s made of two conductive elements of specified lengths.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, in the case of a parabolic dish antenna, the concave reflector surface focuses signals on the feed element. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, understanding where the front part is in an antenna helps to streamline effective and optimal reception. <\/p>\n\n\nDifferentiating Directional and Omnidirectional Antenna<\/h2>\n\n\n
