Beamwidth of an Antenna: Beamwidth is the angle from which the majority of the antenna's power, as illustrated on the radiation pattern's main lobe, radiates. It may be measured in the horizontal or vertical planes and is the distance between two points where the power is less than half of the maximum.

How is beamwidth of an antenna calculated?
Formula: Beamwidth = 70λ / D where, λ = Wavelength D = Diameter Antenna 3db Beamwidth is calculated easily using this electronics calculator.
How is beamwidth measured?
The simplest way to define the width of a beam is to choose two diametrically opposite points at which the irradiance is a specified fraction of the beam's peak irradiance, and take the distance between them as a measure of the beam's width.
What is the difference between bandwidth and beamwidth?
You can calculate the beamwidth using the function beamwidth. Bandwidth is the range of frequencies over which the antenna characteristics are within the acceptable value around the center frequency.
What is beamwidth unit?
The unit of FNBW is radians or degrees.
