Default NewB: antenna and ADC howto

Hi all,

I'm Alexander and I'm a total newbe of radiofrequency comunication.
Fortunately I have a little knowledge of physics.

Now, my problem is: I want to record a raw UHF signal.
First step: I need an antenna. Any suggestion (web HowTos, pdf or anything
alike)?
Once I have the antenna and the circuitry behind it, I'd need a means of
recordingWhen I was at the university we had some nice toys which were able
to create (wired) digital signals. No I suppose there also are spectrum
analizers which could transform an analogic signal from the antenna to a
digital one so it can be easily recorded on a pc. Unfortunately I don't even
know how they are called! :-/ I called them ADC (as opposed to DAC), but
never heard this term actually. Could you give me a track to follow?

Thanks to anyone so kind to help,

Alexander
