satellite dishes
Rooftop broadcast receivers
Satellite dishes are bowl-shaped antennas that receive or transmit signals to orbiting satellites.
The curved surface focuses radio waves onto a receiver at the dish's center.
They appear on rooftops and building sides for television reception, and in larger arrays for telecommunications and scientific observation: The apartment complex banned satellite dishes from balconies.
