"Creating" Gain

(A measure of the effectiveness of a directional antenna as compared to a standardnondirectional antenna.)

This is how gain is created--by arranging the currents in an antenna so thatthe fields they radiate sum together in a few directions and cancelelsewhere.-- ARRL Continuing Education ProgramAntennas do not somehow magically create power but simply focus theradiated RF into narrower patterns such that there appears to be morepower coming from the antenna in the required direction. -- Marc Dekenah
