Types of Antennas
Following is a description of different types of TV antennas,
both indoor and outdoor. Information provided includes the type of antenna, a
general description of how the category of antenna performs, a general
description of the physical appearance of the antennas, and where they may
optimally perform in relation to the color code of the station you want to
receive.
Guide to Antenna Box Labeling
When purchasing an antenna, look for the CEA-certified antenna
mark for outdoor antennas (which corresponds to the colors on your stations
list). There is also a CEA-certified indoor antenna mark, which does not apply
to this mapping system, but certifies that your indoor antenna will work in
geographic areas that are appropriate for indoor antennas.
CEA-certified Antenna Mark for Outdoor Antennas
Antenna color codes are broken into six different zones. These
zones identify the different types of antennas that are required for a consumer
to receive optimal reception. Typically, the closer consumers live to the
signal tower, the better reception they will receive. They may also be able to
use an indoor antenna versus an outdoor. The farther away a consumer lives, the
opposite is true. However, there are many variables that impact exactly which
antenna a consumer will need.
