The power of the signal, as perceived by the receiver, will be lower with an omnidirectional antenna. This is because the omnidirectional antenna is transmitting in all directions, while the directional antenna is transmitting in only one direction.
Think of the directional antenna as a lens, focusing proportionally more power in a smaller space.
omni-directional is the opposite of directional. A directional antenna receives or sends more signal from or to the front than the sides or back.
Yes - reflector element and directional elements.
Some advantages of the Yagi- Uda Antenna include that this is a widely used design and low cost. The construction also is simple. Some disadvantages are that the receiver of the Yagi-Uda Antenna may have problem receiving signal.
I don't think it has. Bandwidth depends on the diameter to length ratio of the antenna. The greater the diameter of the elements the wider the bandwidth. The inductance goes down and the capacitance goes up, giving the antenna a lower Q. the folded dipole has a greater effective diameter (at least double for the same materials). You can increase a normal dipole's bandwidth by increasing the diameter, hence the old time birdcage aerials.
Aircraft can approach an antenna from any direction, so antennas need to be omni ("all") directional in the horizontal plane. Early on, the easiest way to get omnidirectionality was to use vertical polarisation, and it's also the simplest kind of antenna - a simple rod or wire (of the right length) works just fine. Subsequent antenna design has produced omnidirectional antennas with horizontal polarisation, but there are no significant advantages, and the design/construction is more complex than a vertical equivalent.
A yogi is a directional antenna.

Yes.
Radiation pattern is just a map of how the strength of the signal varies around (transmitting) antennas. For some, like a simple whip antenna, the patttern too is quite simple. For directional antennas they can be quite complicated.
A yagi is a directional antenna consisting of two or more dipoles.
No
The source is the RF current in the transmitting antenna.
omnidirectional, directional universal
A yagi is a directional antenna consisting of two or more dipoles.
omni directional antennas
There is no difference between the two.
The source is the RF current in the transmitting antenna.
