  • Di-pole
    • Typical PC card antenna
    • Very low gain, radiates in almost all directions equally
    • Horizontal Polarization
  • Omni-Directional
    • Usually has gain: 0 to 15 dBi – Lower gain better for tall mounts.
    • Typically Radiates equally well on the horizontal plane.
    • Vertical Polarization
  • Panel or Sector
    • Used to cover a section of a flat area.
    • Has gain: 3 to 18 dBi
    • Horizontal beam width is typically 10 to 120 degrees.
    • Vertical beam width is typically 10 to 45 degrees
