→Antenna Gain
=== Antenna Gain ===
Antenna gain describes the power in the direction of peak power of any antenna with respect to an lossless isotropic antenna (100% efficiency and 1 directivity) when both are excited with same power. Simply speaking antenna gain takes into account both directivity and antenna efficiency and mathematically it is product of those two. <br \>
'''Antenna Gain = Antenna Efficiency x Directivity.''' <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_gain</ref><br \>Similar to directivity, antenna gain can vary considerably with type of antenna and hence the type of antenna to be selected is highly application specific
