There are many types of antennas, to many to mention, here is a list of the most commonly used:
Unidirectional Types:
First the most common is the, 1/4 wave whip.
Following types is popular for CB and Ham
The 1/2 wave dipole, two 1/4 wave wires or whips in line and center fed
1/2 wave folded dipole, two 1/2 wave wires inline folded back to the center also used for FM reception.
1/4 wave ground plain, a 1/4 wave whip with 3 or more horizontal ground plain elements (Balanced)
1/2 wave ground plain, a 1/2 wave whip with 3 or more horizontal ground plain elements (Balanced)
5/8 wave ground plain, a 5/8 wave whip with 3 or more horizontal ground plain elements but it need L/C turning where the transmission line enters the antenna at the bottom to balance it
Semi Directional
The radio ham's use the long wire antenna for long wave medium and short wave, it is a full wave length of wire, spanned horizontal between two poles or even trees or buildings center or end fed where the transmission line is connected to the center or the end of the wire.
The inverted V, is two 1/2 or 1/4 wave wires spanned from the top of a pole in an inverted v and anchored to the ground.
Directional types:
Multi element Yagi, very popular with radio ham's and TV reception
The quad loop, or cubical quad, also popular under radio ham's
The helical coil that is very popular in the higher frequency range because of it's compactness.
The Parabolic disk that is used mostly for WiFi, microwave and satellite communication
The Printed PCB loop that is used in remote controls and cell phones, it is a printed track on the PCB in many configurations and shapes, it is also used for blue tooth dongles Etc.

What is a reconfigurable antenna?
an antenna that is able to be formed, or bent
Can you replace an XM radio antenna with any other antenna like a 3ft hard cb antenna?
You can replace an XM radio antenna with a CB antenna, a ham 40-meter mobile antenna, a cellphone antenna, a GPS antenna, a TV antenna, a wire coat hanger, a 6 GHz microwave antenna, or a chain of paperclips. However, since none of them is optimized to operate at the frequencies of XM radio, like the XM antenna is, none of the others will work as well. Most of them will likely be so inefficient at the satellite radio frequencies that when you use one of those, you hear nothing at all on your radio.
What is an ultra wideband antenna?
Antennas can be tuned for specific frequencies to increase their gain. These types of antenna are sometimes referred to as narrowband. An ultra wideband antenna works for a lot of frequencies around what is called a center frequency. For example, if you had a narrowband antenna centered around 10 megahertz it might work for frequencies from 9 to 11 megahertz for example. If it were wide band it might go from 5 to 15 megahertz, and so forth. The bands are clustered around specific center frequencies for different applications.
What is microstrip patch array antenna?
microstip patch array antenna is basically ,thecollection of antenna that give the double directive gain
Is end fire array antenna non resonant antenna?
yes
How many types of antenna?
omnidirectional, directional universal
What is the meaning of antenna radome?
A randome comes in many types of materials(typically fiberglass) and is basically a structural weatherproof material that is designed for antenna's safety. It acts as a shield to the exposed and delicate parts of the antenna.
How many antenna does a cockroach have?
The function of the antenna of a cockroach is to determine the position, shape, and texture of surrounding objects in the dark. The antenna of the cockroach is approximately as long as the body.
Why do I need a tomtom antenna?
If your signal is bad/low then the use of a TomTom antenna makes it better. There are many different types of antenna. The magnetic TomTom antenna is attached outside your car to give great gps reception. http://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/products/accessories/antennas-receivers/external-antenna-for-go/
How do you replace power antenna on 2003 Taurus wagon?
There are 2-3 types. Basically you remove antenna and it's power box from left rear cover.
What are the options for car radio antenna types?
The options for car radio antennas include internal car antennas, external car antennas, power antennas, and satellite antennas. The internal antenna is the least effective and most cars come with either the external fixed antenna or the power antenna unless their is a satellite radio in the car and then it is a satellite antenna.
Are there different types or qualities of cables that connect the antenna to your TV?
Yes CAC6 is one of the best.
What is the purpose of using different types of antenna?
Different types of antennas are used to optimize signal strength, coverage, and directionality for specific communication needs. For example, a directional antenna focuses its signal in a specific direction for long-range communication, while an omnidirectional antenna broadcasts signals in all directions for broad coverage. The choice of antenna type depends on factors such as the distance to be covered, desired coverage area, and environmental conditions.
Who sells antennas in Ohio?
There are way to many types of antenna for me to correctly guess what type you mean. Sorry
How do antenna pick up waves?
Antennas pick up waves through a process called electromagnetic induction. When an electromagnetic wave passes through an antenna, it generates a small electrical current in the antenna which can be detected and amplified to recover information encoded in the wave. The size and shape of the antenna determine the types of waves it can efficiently pick up.
Difference between hertz antenna and marconi antenna?
Hertz Antenna is lambda by 2 antenna & marconi antenna is lambda by 4 antenna...
How you will identified antenna on aircraft?
When it comes to identifying an antenna on aircraft, there are a few types. Some of them are loop, master beacon, communication and loran antennas. Normally communication or com antennas can be found underneath the planes or on top.
