"Dish antennas" refers to a type of antenna used for receiving or transmitting signals. They have a concave or bowl-shaped surface that can capture or project radio waves more effectively than other types of antennas. They are commonly seen as satellite dishes for TV reception.

The VLBA, a continent - wide radio telescope system with ten
dish antennas distributed across North America, Hawaii, and the Caribbean, can measure the minuscule angles associated with great distances.
Data gathered by all 28 of the 82 - foot -(25 - meter --RRB-
diameter dish antennas are brought to a correlator — a central, special - purpose computer — which merges the input into a form that allows scientists to produce detailed, high - quality images of the astronomical objects under investigation.
However there will be combo set - top boxes that may support both satellite and terrestrial services but there is the requirement of
a dish antenna and UHF antenna to be connected to the combo set top box.
Half of the Very Large Array's (VLA) 28
dish antennas — each weighing 230 tons — have already been upgraded so it can collect eight simultaneous data streams at about two giga -(billion) hertz, up from the previous capability of four data streams at about 50 mega -(million) hertz.
At this lowest point, or perigee, TESS will orient
its dish antenna to Earth and transmit data to ground stations below, a process that will take three hours.
Dish antennas are best at high frequencies.
