An antenna system has several other parts, such as these:
Feed system— The feed system carries power to and from the antenna. The feed system is coaxial cable (coax) or, in rare instances, waveguide.
Coaxial connectors— Connectors transfer power between different sections of the feed system.
Mounting hardware— Mounting hardware connects the antenna to the antenna supports. The mounting hardware must hold the antenna firmly in place, including any uptilt or downtilt. Mounting hardware also secures feedlines to masts, towers, and buildings.
Covering— Antenna coverings are called radomes.
The sections that follow cover the antenna system components in greater detail.
