IMPORTANT
- “Steering” techniques should not be applied to clusters of less than 3 RS18;
- Coverage control through steering technique increases with cluster height.
Steering can be applied by unit, group of 2 or group of 3 in Omni Mode as well as in Directional Mode
.
GROUP OF 2 RS18S STEERING GROUP OF 3 RS18S STEERING
“Steering” delays values for the pairs can easily be computed according to following formula:
τ = h*sin(θ)/C (metric)
τ is the value to be applied to the second pair
h is the height of tilted elements ( 1.04m for 2 RS18s, 1.56m for 3 RS18s)
C is the speed of sound ( = 343m/s )
7.3.2 Delay values implementation
• If the coverage is to be tilted down, then top group delay should be set at 0ms and delay should
progressively increase on lower groups.
• If the coverage is to be tilted up, then lower group delay should be set at 0ms and delay should
progressively increase on upper pairs.
• Delay value for first group is always 0ms.
• Delay value for second unit or group is τ
• Delay values for subsequent units or groups are 2τ, 3τ etc…
