BI1XNA An octagonal antenna has directional properties, so it is a directional antenna. Its feeding point for the driving resonator is located in the middle of the resonator, and the two arms of the resonator form the basic antenna type "dipole antenna." The dipole antenna is called a dipole because it has two poles (two resonators). A typical example is the horizontal DP and positive V antennas. If we cut off one section of the positive V antenna and then stand up the remaining section, it becomes a typical... GP antenna (vertical antenna). So, if you ask about their differences, ... they are in terms of shape and feeding method.
