There are more parameters to consider when choosing antennas also:


* '''Antenna polarization''' is the direction in which electric field oscillates while it propagates through environment. It is important to match broadcasting and receiving antennas polarization: it must be same polarity. In this way the maximum signal is obtained. WiFi antennas are almost always vertically polarized, while mobile antennas are either vertically polarized or cross polarized

* '''Antenna gain''' describes how much power is radiated in the direction of peak radiation compared to isotropic emitter. Different units are used to express antenna gain
* '''Antenna gain''' (guadagno) describes how much power is radiated in the direction of peak radiation compared to isotropic emitter. Different units are used to express antenna gain
** Decibels (dB) – 10 dB means 10 times the energy relative to an isotropic antenna in the peak direction of radiation
** Decibels (dB) – 10 dB means 10 times the energy relative to an isotropic antenna in the peak direction of radiation
** dBi (decibels relative to an isotropic emitter) is the same as dB because isotropic antenna has gain of 1dB
** dBi (decibels relative to an isotropic emitter) is the same as dB because isotropic antenna has gain of 1dB
