Not to be confused with Radio direction finding (also RDF and also antenna-associated)

Relative Directivity Factor (RDF) is a figure of merit for radio receiving antennas;[1] it is the antenna gain in the forward direction is divided by the gain in all other directions. It is also called the Signal to Noise Improvement Factor (SNIF).[2]
