Gain<br />

For a given frequency the antenna's effective<br />

area is proportional to the power gain. An<br />

antenna's effective length is proportional to<br />

the square root of the antenna's gain for a<br />

particular frequency and radiation<br />

resistance.<br />

In other words, the as length increases the<br />

gain increases exponentially.
