Directional Antenna 
Radiates and receives most of the signal power in one direction. The following 
diagram shows the radiation pattern of a directional antenna with its side lobes in 
polar form: 
 
Figure C-5: Radiation Pattern of Directional Antenna 
Antenna Beamwidth 
The directiveness of a directional antenna. Defined as the angle between two half-
power (-3 dB) points on either side of the main lobe of radiation. 
System Characteristics 
Receiver Sensitivity 
The minimum RF signal power level required at the input of a receiver for certain 
performance (e.g. BER). 
EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) 
The antenna transmitted power. Equal to the transmitted output power minus 
cable loss plus the transmitting antenna gain. 
P

  - Output power transmitted in dBm 
Ct - Transmitter cable attenuation in dB 
Gt - Transmitting antenna gain in dBi 
Gr - Receiving antenna gain in dBi 
Pl - Path loss in dB 
Cr - Receiver cable attenuation in dB 
Si - Received power level at receiver input in dBm 
Ps - Receiver sensitivity in dBm
