|
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. |
