ability of a directional antenna to focus radio waves is analogous to a magnifying
glass focusing sunlight into a very concentrated hot spot.
A
directional antenna
focuses the waves in one direction. It forms them into a
conical shape that makes them stronger and enables them to travel greater
distances.
In the same way that light is focused by a magnifying glass, an RF signal shaped
by an antenna is strongest within a narrow area at the center of the cone. We call
this area the center lobe. For optimum long-distance reception, an antenna must be
aligned to receive the center lobe signal, and the signal path must be free of
obstructions.
