What Is a Coax Antenna

A coaxial antenna is a type of dipole antenna used with an unbalanced feed line connected to the device. A coaxial antenna has a hollow conducting tube through which a coaxial cable passes. Coaxial antennas are mostly used with citizens band (CB) radio at frequencies above 10 megahertz.

What is an antenna coaxial cable?

Coaxial cable is used as a transmission line for radio frequency signals. Its applications include feedlines connecting radio transmitters and receivers to their antennas, computer network (e.g., Ethernet) connections, digital audio (S/PDIF), and distribution of cable television signals.
