Antenna and Transmitter Definitions

Antenna

(Zoology) One of the paired, flexible, segmented sensory appendages on the head of an insect, myriapod, or crustacean functioning primarily as an organ of touch.

Transmitter

One that transmits
A transmitter of disease.

Antenna

Something likened to this sensory appendage, as in function or form
Sensitive public relations antennae.

Transmitter

An electronic device that generates and amplifies a carrier wave, modulates it with a meaningful signal derived from speech or other sources, and radiates the resulting signal from an antenna.

Antenna

A structure in a photosynthetic organism containing pigment molecules that absorb light energy and transfer it to a reaction center composed of proteins and pigments, where the light energy is converted into chemical energy.

Transmitter

The portion of a telephone that converts the incident sounds into electrical impulses that are conveyed to a remote receiver.

Antenna

A movable, articulated organ of sensation, attached to the heads of insects and Crustacea. There are two in the former, and usually four in the latter. They are used as organs of touch, and in some species of Crustacea the cavity of the ear is situated near the basal joint. In insects, they are popularly called horns, and also feelers. The term in also applied to similar organs on the heads of other arthropods and of annelids.

Transmitter

Any agent (person or animal or microorganism) that carries and transmits a disease;
Mosquitos are vectors of malaria and yellow fever
Fleas are vectors of the plague
Aphids are transmitters of plant diseases
When medical scientists talk about vectors they are usually talking about insects

Antenna

A metallic device, variously shaped, designed for the purpose of either transmitting or receiving radio waves, as for radio or television broadcasting, or for transmitting communication signals. Some types are: whip antenna, antenna tower, horn antenna, dish antenna, directional antenna and rabbit ears. See transmitter, receiver.

Transmitter

Set used to broadcast radio or tv signals

Antenna

An electrical device that sends or receives radio or television signals

Antenna

Sensitivity similar to that of a receptor organ;
He had a special antenna for public relations

Antenna

One of a pair of mobile appendages on the head of e.g. insects and crustaceans; typically sensitive to touch and taste
