What is an aerial?
An Aerial is a device designed to pick up radio waves through the air. They can be found on audio units such as radio sets in vehicles. Older vehicles will have manual tuning but standard modern versions are digitally tuned radios. The Aerial antenna is tuned to pick up the frequency of various channels in order for the driver and passengers to hear their desired radio stations.
There are various kinds of antenna and they can be found internally or externally. Internal Aerials can be found on the dashboard, windshield or body of the car. External ones have greater reception range and clarity and are usually retractable to prevent damage. They are usually made of metal of fibreglass and corrode easier than internal variety.
As technology has advanced into the digital era,miniature satellite dishes are slowly replacing the older Aerials. The dishes can be used for both XM radio and GPS systems (General Positioning System) for locating the vehicle on a digital mapping system in order to help the drivers find their routes. Satellites are mounted on the dashboard of a vehicle, these require a subscription whereas AM and FM are free and so are still widely available.
