# Miniscule Television Antennae This Tiny Television Antenna Doesn't Compromise On Signal Quality By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-03-31 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/television-antenna References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/worlds-smallest-tv-antenna/42558/) & [alphagalileo.org](http://www.alphagalileo.org/ViewItem.aspx?ItemId=162537&CultureCode=en) A group of researchers and engineers working out of the [University of Morelos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrogen-based-energy-systems) over in Mexico have developed an incredible television antenna that measures in at only 11 cm long, 6.5 cm wide and 6 mm thick, besides weighing in at only 12 grams. Without a doubt the smallest television antenna ever created, this antenna assumes a [compact rectangular form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanophone) that allows it to contain a number of tiny antennas. It can easily be affixed to a roof and can operate in low temperatures. Indoors, it can be used without attachments and can be fed through a signal splitter to connect to [multiple television sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-television-line). Incredibly, it doesn't even require electricity to work. This supremely compact television antenna is set to revolutionize television hardware by adding extra convenience while working just as well as conventional antennas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Micro Antenna:** The development of a tiny television antenna creates opportunities for further miniaturization of TV hardware. - **Wireless Antenna:** An antenna that doesn't require electricity to work can lead to the development of wireless televisions. - **Energy Efficiency:** The use of electricity-free antennas could pave the way for more energy-efficient hardware in the television industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Television:** The creation of a micro antenna has the potential to disrupt the television industry and change the way people watch TV. - **Consumer Electronics:** The development of super compact and energy-efficient antennas could lead to the creation of new types of consumer electronics. - **Communication Technology:** The miniaturization and wireless capabilities of this antenna could inspire further innovation in communication technology industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Budget TV Antennas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/best-buy-essentials-antenna.md) - [Film-Type Vehicle Antennas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-electronics.md) - [Cordless Battery-Powered TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-television.md) - [Invisible Vehicle Antennas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transparent-antenna.md) - [Omni Directional Antennas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/product-design-consultancy-consumer-product-design.md) - [Foldable Outdoor TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c-seed.md) - [Oversized Micro LED Televisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tcl-x11h-max.md) - [Adhesive-Sticking Wireless TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/displace.md) - [Wireless High-Definition TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oled-m.md)
