Preliminary remarks 

In the present description only the antenna system for Audio, TV, telephone and navigation is described.

General information 

The design of the various antennae is adapted to their special reception/transmission ranges.

A distinction must be made between passive and active antennas:

Passive antennas  do not require a voltage supply, they can therefore not directly amplify the radio signal received.

Examples:

Active antennas  are supplied with power. They feature an integrated amplifier.

Example:

The power supply is supplied by separate leads or via the coaxial leads which serve simultaneously for signal transmission (so-called phantom feed). In this case, no separate leads are required for the power supply.

Another difference between the antennae is that many antennae are only used for reception while others are used for both receiving and transmitting.

Examples:

Reception only:

Transmission and reception:
