Antenna Gain vs Distance – What’s the Difference?

Antenna Gain vs Distance: There is certainly some correlation between distance and gain; however, there are other factors that also play a role in determining an antenna's signal strength at any particular location.

By: Jeremy NeisserAs a rule of thumb, antenna gain is the measure of how well an antenna converts RF power from a transmitter to an electrical signal at its output terminals. Distance is generally referred to as transmission line loss or the attenuation of RF signals over a given amount of cable. There is certainly some … Read more
