Question
Why are dish antennas curved?
Solution
The dish antenna is curved so as it can receive parallel signal rays coming from the same direction. These parallel signal rays reflect from the parabolic dish and gathered at main antenna part. This increases the directivity of antenna and gives a sufficient amplitude signal.
