Directional antennas are designed in such a way that
the pattern shape is focussed so that greater coverage
can be obtained in a particular direction. Put simply,
signals can travel greater distances.

Changing the design and mechanical properties of

directional antennas effectively alters how far the
signal travels in any given direction. Thus the
application of a directional antenna involves a little
more thought as to the radiation pattern or
E(elevation) and H(Horizontal) plane beam widths.

Remember, when deciding on directional antennas the

higher the gain, the more 'pencil-like' the radiation
DL-2412-1 ISM-R8213
pattern. An important consideration when aligning two
sites over long distances.
