Antenna Pattern

An antenna pattern, also called a radiation pattern, represents how an antenna emits or receives radio waves in different directions. Imagine it like a map showing where the signal is strong or weak around the antenna. Patterns can be directional, focusing energy in specific areas, or omnidirectional, spreading it evenly all around. Understanding these patterns helps in designing systems for effective communication, ensuring signals reach the intended area and minimizing interference from unwanted directions. Essentially, it's about maximizing performance by knowing how and where the antenna works best.
