Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The best location for an omni-directional antenna in your home or office is ____ ?
A
On the roof
B
Adjacent to the outside wall
C
Near the center
D
In a basement
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As mentioned earlier, omni-directional antennas work best in situations where you’re close to the signal source and usable signal is available but is affected by obstacles sitting between the signal source and your home, vehicle, or place of work.

Detailed explanation-2: -Choose a window or outdoor location with a view towards the towers, free from obstructions. Omni-directional or flat panel TV antennas don’t necessarily need to be pointed beyond this, but you may see marginal improvements by playing with the positioning by a few feet or even a few inches.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, omnidirectional antennas should be oriented vertically to obtain the best range. If the antenna must be placed horizontally, it should not be directed at the receiver. Yagi antennas, on the other hand, should be mounted horizontally pointing in the direction of its counterpart.

Detailed explanation-4: -If possible, try placing the antenna in or near a window, provided you don’t live in an apartment building where your “view” consists of a neighboring building’s brick wall. The second best choice is an external wall that faces the broadcast towers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Omnidirectional antennas are polarized in a way that allows them to provide a 360 degree radiation pattern. They are used when coverage is required in all directions.
