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.

Antenna height

See ANNEX 11:.

Azimuth ref. 0 deg is pointing to the Tx

-

Boolean

-

When selected, the antenna (i.e. for an antenna azimuth distribution of 0°) is pointing by default at the VLT. If not selected, it looks EAST.

Antenna azimuth: Antenna alignment horizontal tolerance

dH

Distribution or Scalar

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

-

Boolean

-

When selected, the antenna (i.e. for an antenna elevation distribution of 0°) is tilted by default towards the VLT. If not selected, it is set horizontal.

Antenna elevation: Antenna alignment vertical tolerance

dV  

Distribution or Scalar

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.
