both the antennas vs both antennas

These two phrases are correct, but they're used in different contexts. "Both the antennas" is used to refer to specific antennas that have been previously mentioned or are known in the context. On the other hand, "both antennas" is used when referring to two antennas in a general sense without specifying which ones.
