Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of antenna assemblies configured for reception of television signals, such as high definition television (HDTV) signals. In an exemplary embodiment, an antenna assembly generally includes a VHF antenna element and a UHF antenna element. The VHF antenna element and the UHF antenna element may be parasitically coupled without a direct ohmic connection between the VHF antenna element and the UHF antenna element. The antenna assembly may be configured to be operable for receiving VHF and UHF high definition television signals without using a diplexer and a VHF balun.
Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of signal level indicators and antenna assemblies including the same. In an exemplary embodiment, an antenna assembly includes an antenna configured to be operable for receiving signals, a signal level indicator for indicating a strength of signals received by the antenna, and an amplifier coupled for communication with the antenna, the signal level indicator, and a signal output. The amplifier is configured to be operable for amplifying signals received by the antenna.
Abstract: According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of antenna assemblies. In an exemplary embodiment, an antenna assembly generally includes at least one antenna element configured to be operable for receiving high definition television signals.
