Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The beamwidth of an RF antenna is the angular measure of how wide the main lobe of radiation is. The main lobe is the area where the signal strength is highest and most concentrated. The beamwidth is calculated at the points where the main lobe decreases power by 3 dB, which means it is half of the maximum power. The beamwidth can be measured in both horizontal and vertical planes, depending on how the antenna is oriented. The horizontal beamwidth is also called azimuth, while the vertical beamwidth is also called elevation.The beamwidth patterns on an antenna polar chart indicate how the RF energy is distributed in different directions.Reference:1, Chapter 2, page 66;2, Section 2.3
