FAQs on Directive Gain

What is the formula to find Directive Gain?
The formula of Directive Gain is expressed as Directive Gain = (4*pi)/(Beam Width in X-plane*Beam Width in Y-plane). Here is an example- 66.0367 = (4*pi)/(0.426733002112533*0.445931623884467).
How to calculate Directive Gain?
With Beam Width in X-plane b) & Beam Width in Y-plane b) we can find Directive Gain using the formula - Directive Gain = (4*pi)/(Beam Width in X-plane*Beam Width in Y-plane). This formula also uses Archimedes' constant .
