A 12 dBi single band Yagi antenna is a directional antenna with a gain of 12 decibels relative to an isotropic radiator (dBi). It is designed to operate within a specific frequency range and is characterized by its Yagi-Uda design, which utilizes multiple elements (a driven element, a reflector, and directors) to focus radio waves in a specific direction, enhancing signal strength and directionality.
