All > Technology > Telecommunications
- Of an antenna, for a given plane, a distribution plot of the off-axis power relative to the on-axis power as a function of angle or position. [After 2196] Note: The acceptance pattern is the equivalent of a horizontal or vertical antenna pattern. 2. Of an optical fiber or fiber bundle, a curve of total transmitted power plotted against the launch angle.
