Directivity
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-001739
A measure of an antenna's ability to concentrate radiated power in a particular direction, relative to the power radiated by an isotropic antenna. It quantifies how focused the antenna's radiation pattern is. Directivity is a dimensionless ratio, often expressed in decibels (dBi), and is a key parameter in antenna design and performance evaluation.
