Dish antenna
A dish antenna, also called a satellite dish, is a curved metal reflector designed to receive or transmit signals, such as television broadcasts or internet data, from satellites orbiting Earth. Its shape focuses incoming signals onto a central receiver called a feed horn, which captures the signals for processing. Conversely, it can transmit signals by directing them toward a satellite. The dish's precise alignment and reflective surface are crucial for clear and strong signal reception. It is a common and efficient way to access satellite communication services, especially in areas lacking wired infrastructure.
