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.

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.In the old British system of weights, 14 pounds make up one stone, 8 stones make up 1 hundredweight, and twenty hundredweight make up one ton.f you ask someone the difference between a ton and a tonne, it is likely that you may draw a blank as most people think that they are one and the same.
