8. In the microwave antenna theory, the directive gain is defined as the ratio of the radiation intensity in a certain direction to the average radiation intensity. The directivity of an antenna is defined as the maximum values of directive gain. See for example, W. L. Stutzman and G. A. Thiele: Antenna Theory and Design (John Wiley & Sons 1981).
