The question was is there a standard measure for bandwidth.

I gave a couple of possible measures.

This is not answering my own question.

So, the FM antenna that is advertized as covering 87.5-108 mhz, what

Hi. Is there a standard way to measure antenna bandwith? Is it within
3dB down of maximum gain, or is it between SWR limits?

I'm looking at an FM receiving yagi that is advertised as covering the
frequency range 87.5 - 108 Mhz. And I'm wondering what this means. Is
the received signal going to be 3dB down at the band edges or what?

I notice that there are commecial yagis (that are probably suitable for
transmission) that have 150-174 Mhz in their description. Yet they are
stated as having a bandwidth of say 1.3 Mhz. What's the deal here?
