What kind of antenna is this?

I just bought this house in Pleasanton, California and the guy who I bought it from was super concerned about security, and also loved weird technology. I have remove so much cabling and locks from the house because he was sort of a “doomsdayer”. What is this antenna and why does it have a node in the middle? Is that like some sort of motor?
