An antenna in which the radiation pattern is not omnidirectional, i.e., a nonisotropic antenna.
Helpful?           0
An antenna for wireless equipment which sends or receives a propagated radio signal on the same axis as the corresponding antenna on the other end (with line-of-sight visibility between the two whenever possible). While omni-directional antennas are great for short range broadcasts because of their versatility, high gain directional antennas are recommended for most long range wireless video applications.

Directional antennas focuses the radiation pattern in a specific direction. They are available in a variety of from factors and strengths. Directional antennas are useful in covering long hallways and in bridging two wireless networks together.
Helpful?           0
An antenna that concentrates transmission power into a direction such that coverage distance increases at the expense of coverage angle. Directional antenna types include yagi, patch, and parabolic dish.

An antenna designed to transmit and receive RF energy in a specific direction(s).
Helpful?           0
An antenna that radiates most effectively in only one direction.
Helpful?           0
A directional antenna is an antenna which radiates greater power in one or more directions allowing for increased performance on transmit and receive and reduced interference from unwanted sources.
