2.6 Length of the Dead Zones near the equipment
The length of the Dead Zones near the equipment is based on the distance of the equipment
from ground, on the sensitivity set on the receiver and on the type of antenna used.
With regard to the considerations stated above, and based on plant requirements, the equipment
must be installed at a certain height from ground. In mean plant the height must be 80 cm.
(from the ground and the centre of the antenna). With medium sensitivity setting, the
suggested crossing overlap is 3.5 m.
