Indoor antennas are usually simple half-wave dipole antennas for VHF [very high frequency] or UHF [ultra high frequency] loop antennas used for television (and VHF radio). These are often called "rabbit ears" ... because of their shape. The length of the telescopic "ears" can be self adjusted and should be about half of the wavelength of the signal for the desired channel. 4, record 1, English, - rabbit%20ear%20antenna
