Q. How many types of dish antennae are there?

Answer

Array antennas, reflector antennas, horn antennas, and wire antennas are the primary kinds of antennas that are used on today's communication satellites. A dish antenna is a type of reflector antenna, more specifically a parabolic antenna. Dish antennas and parabolic dishes are two frequent names for the most common kind of antenna, which is shaped like a dish. A high level of directivity is the primary benefit that comes with using a parabolic antenna. It acts in a manner similar to that of a flashlight or searchlight reflector in that it can either concentrate radio signals into a narrow beam or only receive radio waves from a certain direction. When compared to other antenna types, parabolic antennas have some of the greatest gains, which indicates that they are capable of producing the smallest beam widths.
