Hiii friend..
Here is your answer
Hope it help you..
Antennas are the means for coupling the transmitter to the medium, in this case, free space. An antenna is an electromagnetic radiator; it creates an electromagnetic field that proceeds out from the transmitting antenna to the receiver’s antenna, which then converts the electromagnetic wave into electrical signals that are applied to the receiver’s input stages.
Directional Antenna
A directional antenna or beam antenna is an antenna which radiates or receives greater power in specific directions allowing increased performance and reduced interference from unwanted sources. Directional antennas provide increased performance over dipole antennas—or omnidirectional antennas in general—when greater concentration of radiation in a certain direction is desired.
Sector Antenna
A sector antenna is a type of directional microwave antenna with a sector-shaped radiation pattern. The word "sector" is used in the geometric sense; some portion of the circumference of a circle measured in degrees of arc. 60°, 90° and 120° designs are typical, often with a few degrees 'extra' to ensure overlap and mounted in multiples when wider or full-circle coverage is required (see photos below). The largest use of these antennas is as antennas for cell phone base-station sites. They are also used for other types of mobile communications, for example in WiFi networks. They are used for limited-range distances of around 4 to 5 km.

Hi,Here is some info about antenna's .Hope this helps you.
Antennas are required by any radio receiver or transmitter to couple its electrical connection to the electromagnetic field. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves which carry signals through the air (or through space) at the speed of light with almost no transmission loss.

A sector antenna or "sector panel" is a directional antenna for outdoor applications. They are most often used by Base-Stations and can be seen, hung on cell phone towers. They are long, narrow antennas with high gains. Sector antennas consist of an array of dipoles placed in front of a shaped reflector. The size and shape of the reflector determines the performance of these antennas. The reflector is usually flat with some ridges or other features along the edges.
