Antenna Summary
Table 4-2 lists each antenna type and style, along with typical beamwidth and gain values. You can use this table as a summary to help compare the antennas side by side. Notice that the beamwidth is the largest for omnidirectional antennas, and then begins to narrow through the progression of directional antennas. The opposite is true of the gain—omnidirectional antennas have the lowest gain, whereas directional antennas increase gain as their beamwidth narrows.
