Direction is the shape of the transmission pattern. As the gain of a directional antenna increases, the angle of radiation usually decreases. This provides a greater coverage distance, but with a reduced coverage angle. The coverage area or radiation pattern is measured in degrees. These angles are measured in degrees and are called beamwidths.
1. (Units) Also called: long ton Brit a unit of weight equal to 2240 pounds or 1016.046909 kilograms. 2. (Units) Also called: short ton or net ton US a unit of weight equal to 2000 pounds or 907.184 kilograms. 3. (Units) Also called: metric ton or tonne a unit of weight equal to 1000 kilograms. 4.

As such, since 1 kg is equal to 2.204 pounds, a ton falls short of 1 Tonne by a few kilograms. 1 Ton= 1000 X2.204= 2204 pounds. Ton is mostly used in the US where it contains 2000 pounds. If one tries to calculate its value in kilograms, it comes to around 910 kg.
