What is the connector on a TV antenna called?

I'm looking to use a SprintBroadband antenna with a WET11 for a direcitonal wireless bridge.. The biggest obstical so far has been figuring out how to physically connect the WET11 to the antenna! Obviously, I'll need some sort of adapter for the cable that is wired into the antenna.

The connector on the antenna side is the same type of connector used on VCRs, TV antennas, cable TV, TV tuner cards, etc.. And well, as common as this connector is, I haven't been able to find its technical name that would allow me to search for this very specific adapter among many, many other specific adapters.
 
Yep! Thats the one, thanks. I saw your answer as I was just coming back here to post that I found the answer

Never fails.. get tired of searching.. post up on the forum with the best fit to the question, look for 5 more minutes, find answer, post back on the forum..

Heres the picture of the connector I will end up using: http://www.baproducts.com/rfa-8673.jpg
Its an F Male to N Female Adapter; And when used with this RP-SMA to N Male Adapter ( http://www.busybits.com.au/item/RPSMANTYPE?busybits=02476564453d7f610548cafce09c6bc4 ), I'll be able to connect the odds and ends with a great deal of signal loss! Wheee!

...I'd much rather be able to use an RP-SMA to F Male, but I haven't yet seen something like that
