Yagi antennas are the common house mounted antenna you see for TV. Yagi antennas are the common house mounted antenna you see for TV. They are
very directional, focusing half of their power 60 degrees, along the axis of
the Yagi. They also can ignore the interference caused by other signals coming
from the sides of the antenna.
=== Dish ===
A Dish in a very focused type of antenna, often used for the 1Ghz+ range of
frequencies. They are directional in the dirction of the dish, and can send and
recieve very focused signals.

= Modulation =
Modulation is the altering of a carrier signal to add infomration. This is done
in everything from raido, to Ethernet.
== Bandwidth ==
Bandwidth is the amount of frequencies that a signal occupies. For example, the
Human voice can make frequencies from 300Hz to 3000Hz, therefore having a
bandwidth of 3000 - 300 = 2700Hz.

== Meters ==
An SWR meter allows you to measure the power flowing to and from the antenna,
therefore calculating the amount of SWR. Another type of SWR meter is a
directional Wattmeter, determining the amount of power in each direction.
Antenna tuners exist, which alter the Impedance of the feed line to match that
of the antenna, so make the SWR 1:1. This is either manual or automatic.
