Tv Antennas and Reception
The side of the antenna receives the least amount of signal. The forward direction , the front of the antenna receives the most signal. As the antenna is rotated the signal receiving ability of the antenna gets lower and lower , until the reception ability of the antenna is at the lowest on the side of the antenna , 90 degrees off the front. Reception will take place at/through the back of the antenna , however the reception is reduced. The reason is the antenna is designed to receive more at the front. It's known as front to back ratio and forward gain.
