Parabolic dish antennas put out tremendous gain but are a little hard to point and make a connection with. As the gain of an antenna increases, the antenna\u2019s radiation pattern decreases until you have a very little window to point or aim your dish correctly. Dish antennas are almost always used for a point to point system for long haul systems. The Parabolic Dish antennas work by focusing the power to a central point and beaming the radio\u2019s signal to a specific area, kind of like the adjustable reflector on a flashlight. These antennas are highly focused and are the perfect tool if you want to send your signal a very long distance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.radiolabs.com\/Articles\/wifi-antenna.html\">WiFi Antennas | Selecting a WiFi antenna<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parabolic or dish antennas This is where the real power is!
