No, an intelligent antenna is one that has the amplifier embedded in the antenna itself. Only at Televes we install preamplifiers in our antennas, so they are considered intelligent antennas. Stand alone preamplifier also called mast amplifier or boosters become the active component of the system when coupled with a passive antenna. In some cases depending on the quality, gain and noise figure of the pre-amplifier, it may not be able to sufficiently amplify weak signals resulting in pixilization or no signal at all. In these cases, it is recommended to install an intelligent antenna, amplifying the signal from the first moment, and, if necessary, also a mast amplifier.
