An antenna is a transducer designed to transmit or receive electromagnetic waves. In other words, antennas convert electromagnetic waves into electrical currents and vice versa. Antennas are used in systems such as radio and television broadcasting, point-to-point radio communication, wireless LAN, radar, and space exploration. Antennas usually work in air or outer space, but can also be operated under water or even through soil and rock at certain frequencies for short distances.

Physically, an antenna is an arrangement of conductors that generate a radiating electromagnetic field in response to an applied alternating voltage and the associated alternating electric current, or can be placed in an electromagnetic field so that the field will induce an alternating current in the antenna and a voltage between its terminals. Some antenna devices (parabolic antenna, Horn Antenna) just adapt the free space to another type of antenna.

Thomas Edison used antennas by 1885. Edison patented his system in U.S. Patent 465,971 . Antennas were also used in 1888 by Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894) to prove the existence of electromagnetic waves predicted by the theory of James Clerk Maxwell. Hertz placed the emitter dipole in the focal point of a parabolic reflector. He published his work and installation drawings in Annalen der Physik und Chemie (vol. 36, 1889).

Antennas have practical uses for the transmission and reception of radio frequency signals (radio, TV, etc.). In air, those signals travel close to the speed of light in vacuum and with a very low transmission loss. The signals are absorbed when propagating through more conducting materials, such as concrete walls, rock, etc. When encountering an interface, the waves are partially reflected and partially transmitted through.

The vast majority of antennas are simple vertical rods a quarter of a wavelength long. Such antennas are simple in construction, usually inexpensive, and both radiate in and receive from all horizontal directions (omnidirectional). One limitation of this antenna is that it does not radiate or receive in the direction in which the rod points. This region is called the antenna blind cone or null.

There are two fundamental types of antennas, which, with reference to a specific three dimensional (usually horizontal or vertical) plane are either:

Omni-directional (radiates equally in all directions), such as a vertical rod or Directional (radiates more in one direction than in the other). In colloquial usage omni-directional usually refers to all horizontal directions with reception above and below the antenna being reduced in favor of better reception (and thus range) in other directions. Also directional antennas are usually meant to refer to one targeting a single specific direction such as a telescope, satellite dish, or possibly a 120° horizontal reception and transmission area.

All antennas radiate some energy in all directions in free space but careful construction results in substantial transmission of energy in a preferred direction and negligible energy radiated in other directions.

By adding additional conducting rods or coils (called elements) and varying their length, spacing, and orientation (or changing the direction of the antenna beam), an antenna with specific desired properties can be created, such as a Yagi-Uda Antenna (often abbreviated to "Yagi").

that white truck in the first picture has the WORST wheel and tire setup possible.

the wheels arent even that big. but the tires are soooo super low profile. the whole shabang looks way too small.

What is also dumb in the first picture is that the accord across the street is parked right under the basketball goal. How is anyone supposed to play basketball now? What a waste!

I have a short rubber amplified antenna that has a LED at the end of it. is I guess you can say I have rice on my antenna.But when I remove the wing I want to shave the quarter panel and install one of these in the back window

those are 20s on the truck? perhaps thats why. especially for a truck that size, they need like...a 22 or 24. theres no way that 20" setup matches the stock wheels outer diameter.

the reason he went with 20's is because hes getting airbags..he wants to lay frame..in order to do this with 22's u have to take out the A/C and so much more bull crap..its not even worth it..but ohh well screw it..and the S14 kouki in the back is my bros..waiting on the JWT ECU to comeback..we did a S14 SR20 swap in it and we didnt have the correct MAF..so we got the ECU tuned for Z32

I'm thinking about getting those tirefly things...you know the jdm led's that you put on your tire valve stems. Maybe then I'll be accepted by my peers.

Here in springfield I actually saw a neon driving around with a DILDO on the antenna. The car was this nasty dull purple too wtf

I use to have one of these before it was stolen.
