Default Where does high gain antenna get the gain from?
Wireless routers come with small antennas. There are high gain,
non-directional antennas you can buy , like this:

If the antenna is directional, I can understand how it could achieve high
gain (by concentrating the radio wave in one direction). But it is
non-directional, so where does the extra gain come from?
