antenna array
Grouped radio receivers
An antenna array is a group of antennas arranged to work together, typically to increase signal strength or directional control.
The individual antennas combine their signals to create patterns that a single antenna couldn't achieve: The radio telescope uses an antenna array spanning several kilometers.
Arrays appear in radar systems, radio astronomy, cellular networks, and satellite communications.
