Dear teacher
Thank you for noticing my post. Here I'm trying to correct my sentences:

1-This type of antenna is preferred for reducing the disruptive effects.
2-This type of antenna is preferred to reduce the disruptive effects.

Would you please kindly tell me which one is correct or preferred?

With regards
