2. Directional antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_antenna

   Patch antenna gain pattern. A directional antenna or beam antenna is an antenna which radiates or receives greater radio wave power in specific directions. Directional antennas can radiate radio waves in beams, when greater concentration of radiation in a certain direction is desired, or in receiving antennas receive radio waves from one specific direction only.

3. Main lobe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_lobe

   In a radio antennas, the main lobe or main beam is the region of the radiation pattern containing the highest power or exhibiting the greatest field strength.. The radiation pattern of most antennas shows a pattern of "lobes" at various directions, where the radiated signal strength reaches a local maximum, separated by "nulls", at which the radiation falls to zero.

4. Beam tilt - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_tilt

   Beam tilt is used in radio to aim the main lobe of the vertical plane radiation pattern of an antenna below (or above) the horizontal plane.. The simplest way is mechanical beam tilt, where the antenna is physically mounted in such a manner as to lower the angle of the signal on one side.

5. Horn antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_antenna

   Horn antenna types Stack of sectoral feed horns for air search radar antenna. Below are the main types of horn antennas. Horns can have different flare angles as well as different expansion curves (elliptic, hyperbolic, etc.) in the E-field and H-field directions, making possible a wide variety of different beam profiles.

6. Beam waveguide antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_waveguide_antenna

   The beam waveguide antenna addresses these problems by locating the feed antenna in a "feed house" at the base of the antenna, instead of in front of the dish. The radio waves collected by the dish are focused into a beam and reflected by metal surfaces in a path through the supporting structure to the stationary feed antenna at the base.

7. Turnstile antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnstile_antenna

   A turnstile antenna, or crossed-dipole antenna, [1] is a radio antenna consisting of a set of two identical dipole antennas mounted at right angles to each other and fed in phase quadrature; the two currents applied to the dipoles are 90° out of phase. [2] [3] The name reflects the notion the antenna looks like a turnstile when mounted ...
