Common omnidirectional antennas include:
omnidirectional radial antenna (vertical omni antenna),
omnidirectional biscuit antenna (dipole omni antenna),
omnidirectional helical antenna (helical omni antenna), etc.
Common directional antennas include:
patch antenna,dipole directional antenna,
helical directional antenna,various directional RF antennas, etc.
The main differences between omnidirectional antennas and directional antennas are as follows:
Directionality: Omnidirectional antennas can radiate signals evenly in the horizontal direction without adjusting the direction; directional antennas have a narrow radiation angle and need to be adjusted to align with the signal source.
Radiation range: Omnidirectional antennas can cover a wide range of areas and are suitable for scenarios that require transmitting and receiving signals in all directions; while directional antennas are suitable for long-distance transmission or scenarios that require coverage of a specific area.
Signal strength: Since directional antennas have a narrow radiation angle, the signal strength in their radiation direction is usually higher than that of omnidirectional antennas, making directional antennas have better transmission effects in specific directions.
According to different application requirements, choosing an appropriate omnidirectional antenna or directional antenna can effectively improve the effect of wireless signal transmission.
