This panel is a common interface that is reused in other radio system. It contains all information relative to the antenna other than the radiation pattern.

Description | Symbol | Type | Unit | Comments |
Antenna height | h | D or S | m | See ANNEX 11: |
Azimuth ref. 0 deg is pointing to the Tx | - | B | - | when selected the antenna by default (i.e. for an antenna azimuth distribution of 0°) is pointing at the VLT. If not selected, it looks EAST. |
Antenna azimuth: Antenna alignment horizontal tolerance | dH | D or S | degree | This is the angle between the Rx main beam and the direction to Tx. E.g. if antenna azimuth=0, the Rx and Tx antennas are strictly aligned in the horizontal plane, see ANNEX 11: |
Elevation ref. 0 is pointing to the Tx | - | B | - | when selected the antenna by default (i.e. for an antenna elevation distribution of 0°) is tilted towards the VLT. If not selected, it is set horizontal |
Antenna elevation: Antenna alignment vertical tolerance | dV | D or S | degree | This is the vertical angle between the Rx main beam and the direction towards Tx. E.g. if antenna elevation=0, the Rx and Tx antennas are strictly aligned in the vertical plane, see ANNEX 11: on p. 312. |
