antenna
Rooftop wave receiver
An antenna is a rod, wire, or dish that sends or receives radio waves—the metal stick on a car roof, the satellite dish on a house.
In biology, antennae are the sensory appendages on insects and crustaceans, used for touch and smell.
Figuratively, to have your antennae up is to be alert to subtle signals: Her political antennae detected trouble.
Plural: antennas for the device, antennae for the appendages.
