An image antenna is a type of radio antenna that creates a "picture" of the radio signals in the air. Picture antennas collect radio signals from a wide area, and then focus them so that the signals all come into one point. This point is about the same size as the antenna, and the signals that come into this point can be turned into images, like what you would see on a TV. The antenna works by sending out its own signals to help it focus the signals that it collects, and then those signals come together to make a picture that describes what the radio signals look like in a certain area.
