Hello.
A television receiving simple antenna receives fine a dozen channels along the spectrum 50 to 700 MHz... The antenna is not tuneable, it has fixed dimensions. A couple of channels get poor-to-no reception.
There is uncertainty if the not received channel signals are so because :
- their signal strength is weak, or
- the orientation is wrong, or
- temperature affects the propagation, or
- time of the day impairs reception, or
- the dimensions of the receiving elements are not optimal for those channels, or
- the frequency response of the antenna dips at them...
Are these reasonable guesses ?
The channels received fine are in many very different frequencies. How come the fixed receiving elements of the antenna do receive signals with so varied frequencies ?
OR
Why a television antenna with fixed element dimensions receives well a wide variety of frequencies ?
