The state of being concave, or like a dish, or the degree of such concavity; as, the dish of a wheel.
anything with a discoid and concave shape, like that of a dish.
an electronic device with a concave reflecting surface which focuses reflected radio waves to or from a point, used as a receiving or transmitting antenna; also called dish antenna. The dish is often shaped as a paraboloid so as to achieve a high sensitivity and enable reception of weak signals when used as a receiving antenna, or to focus transmitted signals into a narrow beam when used as a transmitting antenna.
To make concave, or depress in the middle, like a dish; as, to dish a wheel by inclining the spokes.
A parabolic or spherical shaped antenna.
in radio astronomy, another word for antenna.
the offset on rear wheels (sighted from behind, you’ll see that the right side spokes are near vertical while the lefts are angled) caused by the rim being centered over the axle instead of the hub because of the cassette gears.
directional antenna consisting of a parabolic reflector for microwave or radio frequency radiation
make concave; shape like a dish
a parabolic shaped reflector that directs satellite signals to the feedhorn mechanism
The parabolic antenna used for transmitting and receiving signals from communication satellites.

The satellite dish collects, reflects and focuses the satellite signal into the LNB.
The offset of a wheel's relation to the hub in order to center it in the frame.
A parabolic antenna used to receive satellite transmissions at home. The older "C band" dishes measure 7-12 feet in diameter, while the newer "Ku band" dishes used to receive high-powered DBS services can be as small as 18 inches in diameter.
A circular antenna used to pick up transmissions broadcast from a satellite. See satellite dish.
A reflector for radio waves, usually a paraboloid.
Slang for antenna or earth station.
The inward, or concave angle at which the spoke is set into the hub giving the wheel a cone-shaped appearance. The dishing provids greater strength and security to the wheel.
That part of the DIRECTV System that receives the program and control signals from the DIRECTV satellite and passes them onto the satellite receiver. The dish may be mounted anywhere with a direct line of sight to the DBS satellites (southern sky). There are several different dish types.
Parabolic microwave antenna used for transmitting and/or receiving satellite signals. The term is derived from the shape of the reflector surface, but is taken to mean the whole of the antenna subsystem, including the feedhorn and the antenna structure.
Commonly used term for satellite antenna.
The parabolic reflector that concentrates the weak radio signal from a satellite so that the LNB can deliver it to a receiver with sufficient strength.
A bicycle wheel should have the rim centered directly in line with the frame. The fork ends are symmetrical with respect to the frame, and the hub axle locknuts (or equivalent surfaces) press against the insides of the dropouts. Wheels should be built so that the rim is centered exactly between the axle ends on the hub. In the case of rear wheels, the spokes attach to flanges which are not symmetrical...the right flange is usually closer to the centerline than the left flange, to make room for the sprocket(s). When rear wheels are built properly, the spokes on the right side are made tighter than those on the left side. This pulls the rim to the right, so that it is centered with respect to the axle (and to the frame.) Viewed edgewise, a rear wheel built this way resembles a dish, or bowl, since the left spokes form a broad cone, while the right spokes are nearly flat. By extension, the term "dish" is used as a general synonym for accurate centering, even in the case of symmetrical wheels. See also my Wheelbuilding article
A parabolic antenna that is the primary element of a satellite earth station.
See antenna or earth station.
offsetting of the hub in a rear wheel on a derailleur bike to make room for the cassette and still allow the wheel to be centered within the frame
An earthbound dish-shaped antenna used for receiving satellite signals. Also referred to as downlink dish and ground receiving dish.
Common name for satellite antenna as they are often concave shaped like a dish.
A transmitting or receiving antenna shaped like a dish; used to receive radio and television signals from a communications satellite or microwave link. Also known as parabolic antenna.
Satellite dish. Part of satellite reception equipment which reflects and concentrates at its focal point the signal coming from the satellite.
