From 5G to Satellites, IoT to Radar — antennas are everywhere.
But do you know the key types that make this wireless world possible?
Check this out:
- Dipole Antenna – The most basic form; used in FM radios, TV, & simple wireless systems
- Patch (Microstrip) Antenna – Compact & used in smartphones, GPS, and wearables
- Yagi-Uda Antenna – High directionality, perfect for TV reception and amateur radio
- Helical Antenna – Combines circular polarization with compact form; used in space comms
- Phased Array – Multiple antennas working together; the brain behind radar & 5G beamforming
- Horn Antenna – Ideal for microwave frequencies; used in labs & satellite dishes
- Parabolic Reflector – The GOAT of long-range signals; think DTH & Deep Space Network
Whether you’re tuning into Wi-Fi or tracking satellites, antennas are silently enabling it all.
