Do not counter this with "not sufficiently relevant for mapping", as
you'll see people will likely tag it ;-)
Subtagging (or a property) seems better for the "uplink" information,
because it doesn't require people to know the details in order to map
something, I agree.
+1 to having uplink/downlink' as a sub tag. Actually I think Tx/Rx
(transmit/receive/transceiver) are better as that can be used on
terrestrial antennas and has more detail. And yes these would need some
knowledge to tag correctly for some installations. These can be seen as
a property of the antenna, But I would not use the words 'type',
'property',
The disk is technically not the antenna, it is a reflector.

for a proposed collection of tags
* antenna:application =
mobile_phone/broadcast_radio/broadcast_television/citizens_band/amateur_radio/radar/*
to state the application of an antenna’s signal is put.
* antenna:propagation =reception/transmission/two_way to denote the
direction of the signal.
* antenna:configuration =
monopole/dipole/yagi/log_periodic/horn/curtain/helical/phased_array/loop/*
To state the antenna configuration.
* antenna:polarisation = vertical/horizontal/dual/circular/* to denote
the signal polarisation.
* antenna:reflector = dish/wire_element/wire_screen/* To state the
antennas reflector – if it has one.
* antenna:cover = radome/* To state the antennas protective cover – if
it has one.
