Abstract

A microprocessor-controlled direction selectable TV receiving antenna providing maximum signal strength from multiple direction TV sources is reported. The system has many desirable features, such as a 24-h format digital clock, single step control for fine direction adjustment, display of time and direction in seven-segment LEDs, real-time direction changing for any desired angle, a bar graph display indicating the signal strength, and a programmed off-time direction setting
