satellite dish
Rooftop broadcast receiver
A satellite dish is a bowl-shaped antenna that receives or transmits signals to and from orbiting satellites.
The curved surface focuses radio waves onto a receiver at the center.
Satellite dishes appear on rooftops and building sides for television reception: We got a satellite dish so we could watch more channels.
Larger versions serve telecommunications and scientific purposes.
