Directional antenna
A directional antenna is a type of antenna that focuses its signal in a specific direction rather than spreading it out equally in all directions. This focused transmission allows for a stronger and more targeted signal area, improving communication quality and range with fewer missed signals. Think of it like a flashlight that illuminates a particular spot instead of a whole room, making it more effective for long-distance communication or when trying to connect with a specific device. This makes directional antennas ideal for applications like satellite communications, radar, and point-to-point wireless links.
