The beamwidth of an antenna is the radiation pattern emitted from its surface. Symmetrical pattern antennas (like a dish) have a concentrated beamwidth, measured in degrees.

To find the beamwidth of a symmetrical pattern antenna, use the formula:

     -------
     (√10)x

     where x is the gain of the antenna, in dB
