Antennas are characterized by a number of performance measures which a user would be concerned with in selecting or designing an antenna for a particular application. A plot of the directional characteristics in the space surrounding the antenna is its radiation pattern.

Antena – urządzenie zamieniające fale elektromagnetyczne na sygnał elektryczny i odwrotnie [1]. Jest niezbędnym elementem składowym każdego systemu radiokomunikacji [2].
This article provides a summary description of many of the different antenna types used for radio receiving or transmitting systems. Different types of antennas are made with properties especially optimized for particular uses, and the electrical design of antennas serves as a way to group them:
A Yagi–Uda antenna, or simply Yagi antenna, is a directional antenna consisting of two or more parallel resonant antenna elements in an end-fire array; [1] these elements are most often metal rods (or discs) acting as half-wave dipoles. [2]

Before we can design an antenna or discuss antenna types, we must understand the basics of antennas, which are the fundamental parameters that characterize an antenna. So let us learn something. We'll start with frequency and step through radiation patterns, directivity and gain, and ultimately close with an explanation on why antennas radiate.
Antenna design can range from virutally impossible to very simple. It is all about the situation and constraints. Hence, there is no general formula or checklist one can follow in order to reliably design an antenna.
