Figure 20-22 WAP with replacement antenna

Gain antennas cause the antenna to pick up weaker signals and have an

amplifying effect on transmitted signals. They come in several common

flavors. Increasing the size of a dipole will increase its gain evenly in all

directions. Parabolic dish-type antennas and multi-element Yagi antennas

increase gain in a specific direction and reduce gain in all the other directions.

You’ll know a Yagi antenna when you see one; it looks like the old television

antennas that we used to use to receive over-the-air television signals, only

much smaller. In general, the more elements a Yagi has, the higher the

directional gain.
