What is antenna gain?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. The increase in signal strength in a specified direction compared to a reference antenna
Antenna gain is the increase in signal strength in a specified direction compared to a reference antenna. An antenna does not create extra power; it focuses the power it has into some directions. The reference is often an isotropic antenna or a dipole.
Tip: Gain = focusing, not more power.
