Base Station Antennas Base station antennas can be omnidirectional, directional or have a radiation being specially constructed, the latter yielding the antenna a quite specific coverage range.

Omnidirectional Antennas Omnidirectional antennas are mostly applied for communication with mobile units when the positioning is unpredictable in relation to the base station antenna.		Omnidirectional
Directional antennas Directional antennas are applied at areas or in a limited area where the receiver of the transmitted signal is.		Link Connection (Directional)
Antennas with special custom-made directional characteristics Antennas with special custom-made directional characteristics are applied for coverage of an accurately limited area, possibly an unsymmetrical area, usually with the purpose of not interfering with or being interfered by other radio systems.		Delimited coverage
