How a television antenna works
In short: A television antenna intercepts radio waves from stations and converts them into currents for a television tuner.
1. The purpose of the antenna is to intercept radio waves from the desired television stations. 2. The antenna converts them to tiny radio frequency alternating currents which are applied to the television's tuner. 3. The antenna is connected to the television with a specialized cable designed to carry radio current, called transmission line. 4. The tuner extracts the television signal from the terrestrial over-the-air broadcast television signals.
