High Gain Omni Antennas in Mobile Applications

High-Gain Omni-directional antennas are used in situations where the direction of the receiving antenna is not static or known. A typical situation is where antennas are mounted on a mobile platform like a vehicle or vessel. In any communication system, the quality and throughput that can be attained through a link is highly dependent on the signal strength and quality of the signal between the receiving and transmitting antennas. Antennas play a crucial role in the performance of any wireless communication link. High-gain antennas can be used to provide additional power in the link budget in general, due to the fact that antennas effectively amplify the signal being fed into the antenna.
