    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.
