Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications) / TV antennas | | French term or phrase: antenne "râteau" | | A distinction is being made here between the traditional, TV roof aerial and a parabolic antenna (as in shape). "Rake" is such a great visual description of the TV aerial but it's just not what we say in English. Any ideas or should I just stick with "traditional TV aerial". |

| Grading comment OK - this search seems to come up with the most convincing results, rather than "aerial". You suggestion has quelled my doubts and retains the image of the form of the antenna.

From your description and looking on the pictures of the different type of antennas in Wikipedia. I'm not sure it will help al ot the readers though
Directional antennas, such as the Yagi-Uda, are also commonly referred to as beam antennas or high-gain antennas (particularly for transmitting).
