Definition: a shaped-beam antenna for which part of its radiation pattern in one plane is such that the radiation intensity is proportional to the square of the cosecant of the angle measured from a specified direction in the plane

NOTE – In radar applications, the plane is vertical and the angle is measured from the horizontal so that objects with the same back-scattering cross-section at the same altitude give equal response regardless of distance.
