How Antenna Radiation Patterns Work
What a radiation pattern shows — main lobe, side lobes and nulls — and how its shape drives your choice of antenna for FPV and SDR.

What a radiation pattern shows — main lobe, side lobes and nulls — and how its shape drives your choice of antenna for FPV and SDR.

When a log-periodic antenna suits SDR and FPV, what directionality and the 530–6000 MHz band buy you, and what to watch when mounting it.

When 360° coverage beats gain: how to read an omnidirectional pattern, where 8.8 dBi comes from, and what actually decides link quality.
