1. MOUNTING THE UNIT
1.1 Antenna Unit
Mounting Location
• Mount the omnidirectional antenna unit high atop a mast clear of stays and the turning
diameter of a radar antenna. The ideal mounting location would be where no obstacle
appears in the fore and aft directions down to -5º and down to -15º in the port and
starboard directions. This concept is illustrated in the figure below. Shadow sector of the
antenna mast, whip antenna, etc. should be within 2 degrees at one meter from the
antenna unit.
