Study Notes
Antenna Attributes
- EIRP (Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power) is a measure of the equivalent power that would be radiated by an isotropic antenna in a certain direction.
- Isotropic antennas radiate power uniformly in all directions and have a gain of 0 dBi, which is a reference point for comparing the gain of other antennas.
- Not all antennas amplify the signal; some antennas are passive, meaning they only redirect or focus the signal without amplifying it.
- An antenna with 0 dBi is not faulty, but rather, it is a reference point indicating that the antenna has the same gain as an isotropic antenna.
