The amount of angle (either azimuth or zenith) covered by the antennas maximum gain (in decibels) until the signal drops of 3dB in each direction.
Helpful?           0
the angle between the center of the radar beam and the point in the beam where the power of the transmitted energy is one-half of the power at the center's maximum. A WSR-88D radar's beam width is approximately 1 degree.
