So first - Yes, I know this has been discussed before. I have used the search function.
Now, to my problem - I have a fairly large TV antenna (A pole with a metal comb on it), and I want to use it to detect the direction of a signal.
I know that I can use a rotating screen, and that it can hide the signal direction, but this is liable to cause interference with the communications, so it is less favored.
So what I want to know: Will such an antenna re-emit the Radio waves it transmit, so that four smaller antennas (Or satelite dishes) will be able to recieve the weaker re-transmitted signal from its oposite direction?
In other words, if I have this configuration:
Will each small antenna (The ones with the circle on top) Recieve a signal (Provided that wthout the main one they cannot), and if yes, will it be stronger when the small antenna will be in the direction the signal is coming from?
If the answers to all of these question is no, then is there is another way to recieve direction without interfering with the connection?
