IBIS-L v.02.00 - User manual N°doc: MN/2009/070 - Rev. 1.1 Appendix B - ELEMENTS OF RADAR TECHNOLOGY B.1 Antenna beam The term antenna main lobe (or beam) is intended as the angular area within which the antenna concentrates most of the power it is supplied with. The main lobe of an antenna can be schematically represented as a truncated cone with an elliptic base, where the cone vertex is positioned in correspondence with the antenna.
