Antenna types
Base Station Antennas and Antennas for movable units
Communications antenna types can be distinguished between Base Station Antennas and Antennas for movable (”mobile”) units.
Base Station Antennas
Base station antennas can be:
- Omnidirectional Antennas
- Directional Antennas
- Antennas with radiation being specially constructed, the latter yielding the antenna a quite specific coverage range

Antennas for movable (”mobile”) units
”Mobile” antennas can be split up into:
- Land Mobile Antennas (vehicle antennas)
- Marine Antennas (for ships)
- Portable Antennas (antennas for portable communication equipment)
- (Air Craft Antennas)
Colloquially, the word ”mobile antenna” is usually used as designation for a vehicle antenna.
