What Is Unidirectional Antenna?

In radio communication, an omnidirectional antenna is a class of antenna which radiates equal radio power in all directions perpendicular to an axis, with power varying with angle to the axis, declining to zero on the axis. When graphed in three dimensions this radiation pattern is often described as doughnut-shaped.

What is meant by unidirectional antenna?

A unidirectional antenna focuses the radiofrequency (RF) energy in one or two directions which lowers the beamwidth and overall area covered, but increases the strength of the signal and distance covered in that direction. In fact, an indoor 14dBi directional antenna can reach up to 3.2km indoors and 6.4km outdoors!

Which type of antenna is used in unidirectional?

Radar antennas are type of unidirectional propagation antenna.
