(Example) When the maximum range of the initial PM pattern rBmax = 18 NM as shown on the
INFORMATION LABEL and the maximum range of the current PM pattern rAmax = 16
NM, the reduction of sensitivity ΔR (rmax) = 5 dB is obtained according to the Calibration
Curve II. This proves that the receiver system’s sensitivity has reduced by about 5 dB.
