I am going to begin a slow reworking of this page, I don't feel the "directional antenna" is adequately defined here. Directional antennas are extremely important in RF communication and so this page should be able to rise from stub status. I was wondering about comments on a previous edit suggesting this article may not be able to be expanded without infringing on other referenced articles. Can someone explain that? I am a n00b so any advice or edits as I go would be appreciated. Edwardkerlin 20:03, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I have merged all content from articles
I removed all obvious redundancies and amended syntax accordingly. I also did my best to harmonize the lead paragraphs. -- Rfassbind -talk 13:16, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
I think the terms high gain antenna and low gain antenna should be removed from the article as categories of antenna. These are not used as categories in antenna technical literature so their definitions are unsourced; they have no fixed difinition. The use of these terms by the public originated with the US space program. In describing antennas on spacecraft on TV and publicity releases, NASA needed to distinguish between the small omnidirectional antennas used in Earth orbit, and the large parabolic antennas that needed to be aimed at the Earth, so they referred to one as a "low gain antenna" and the other as a "high gain antenna" respectively. The large use of these terms in the media led people to assume that they were technical terms rather than NASA jargon. -- Chetvorno TALK 14:40, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
