&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Related wiki pages: [[Antennas]], [[Gain]], [[Propagation]], [[SWR]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Front-to-back ratio (FBR) is a measure of how effectively a directional antennas, eg [[Yagi]], [[Log Periodic (LPDA)]], [[Dish or Parabola]] projects RF energy in the desired direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is calculated as the ratio of the maximum directivity of the antenna to the directivity in the opposite direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To quantify FBR, a radiation pattern plot is drawn. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FBR = maximum radiation (dB) in the forward direction - maximum radiation (dB) at &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; 180^0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FBR is of course meaningless for omnidirectional antennas.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
