Smart TV/FM Receiver Antenna

Home reception of local FM and TV stations is usually an uneventful process. Multipath may cause problems with some stations, but this can usually be fixed by simply moving the antenna. Mobile reception is another matter. Diversity reception can usually provide satisfactory FM reception, but ATSC is so sensitive to multipath that mobile reception is effectively impossible. Sophisticated equalizers in the latest generation of receivers work well for fixed reception, but can't adapt quickly enough for a moving receiver.
