OBJECTIVE

Directivity is a fundamental antenna parameter. It is a measure of how

'directional' anantenna's radiation pattern is. An antenna that radiates
equally in all directions would have effectively zero directionality, and
the directivity of this type of antenna would be 1 (or 0 dB).
THEORY

The directivity of an antenna is equal to the ratio of the maximum power

 

density to its average value over a sphere as observed in the far field of an
antenna.
 

Directivity from pattern :

The directivity is also the ratio of the area of a sphere (4π sr) to the
beam area ΩA of the antenna.Directivity from beam area:

The smaller the beam area, the larger the directivity D.

CONCLUSION:
In above experiment we using MATLAB we found Directivity of antenna
as 6(Dimensionless) and 7.7698 in dB.
