Detailed Description
This interface represents a physical device (a part of the radio) which converts electric signals into radio waves, and vice versa.

Returns the antenna gain in the provided direction.
The direction is relative to the antenna geometry, so the result depends only on the antenna characteristics. For transmissions, it determines how well the antenna converts input power into radio waves headed in the specified direction. For receptions, it determines how well the antenna converts radio waves arriving from the the specified direction.
Implemented in inet::physicallayer::InterpolatingAntenna, inet::physicallayer::ParabolicAntenna, inet::physicallayer::CosineAntenna, inet::physicallayer::DipoleAntenna, inet::physicallayer::ConstantGainAntenna, and inet::physicallayer::IsotropicAntenna.
