Directional antennas work like a flashlight
It has a smaller area of coverage, but reaches farther in the distance. Under best conditions,
it can reach up to 8 miles outdoors or 0.5 mile (2,640 ft) indoors. It’s important to note
the smaller the broadcasting pattern, the farther the reach, so it’s a tradeoff with area coverage vs reach.
Yagi, cantennas, panel, and grid antennas are directional antennas with yagi being the most
popular and grid being the most powerful.
Directional antennas are best used in low-signal areas when you need to reach far in the distance to
grab signal outdoors or you need to broadcast signal down a long hallway indoors.
