Antenna Gain Formula
The following formula can be used to calculate the gain of an antenna.
G = 10 LOG ( n4πA / w2)
- G is the antenna gain
- n= Efficiency
- w = Wave Length
- A = Physical Aperture Area
To calculate the antenna gain, multiply 10 by the LOG of the product of the efficiency, 4pi, and the physical aperture area, divided by 2 times the wavelength.
Antenna Gain Definition
Antenna gain is a measure of the efficiency that an antenna converts input energy into radio waves.

FAQ
Antenna gain is the efficiency at which the antenna converts input power into radio waves. For an antenna receiving the signal, the gain is the efficiency at which the antenna converts radio waves back into electrical power.
Antenna gain is calculated using the efficiency, wavelength, and aperture area of an antenna along with the formula described above.
