Information on Directional Antenna

A directional antenna is one that transmits and receives power preferentially in a particular direction, in contrast to the omnidirectional antenna that transmits and receives power equally in all directions. In other words, the radiation pattern of a direction antenna is not spherical.
     Often, the radiation pattern of a directional antenna changes with frequency, although directional antennas may be either narrowband or broadband.
