Axial Force (FA) Maximum forces exerted on a supporting structure as a result of wind from the
most critical direction for this parameter. The individual maximums specified
may not occur simultaneously. All forces are referenced to the mounting pipe.
Front-to-Back Ratio Denotes highest radiation relative to the main beam, at 180° ±40°, across the
band. Production antennas do not exceed rated values by more than 2 dB
unless stated otherwise.
Gain, Mid Band For a given frequency band, gain is primarily a function of antenna size. The
gain of Andrew antennas is determined by either gain by comparison or by
computer integration of the measured antenna patterns.
Operating Frequency Band Bands correspond with CCIR recommendations or common allocations used
throughout the world. Other ranges can be accommodated on special order.
Packaging Type Andrew standard packing is suitable for export. Antennas are shipped as
standard in totally recyclable cardboard or wire-bound crates (dependent on
product). For your convenience, Andrew offers heavy duty export packing
options.
Radiation Pattern Envelope Reference (RPE) Radiation patterns define an antenna’s ability to discriminate against unwanted
signals. Under still dry conditions, production antennas will not have any peak
exceeding the current RPE by more than 3dB, maintaining an angular accuracy
of +/-1° throughout
Return Loss The figure that indicates the proportion of radio waves incident upon the
antenna that are rejected as a ratio of those that are accepted.
Side Force (FS) Maximum side force exerted on the mounting pipe as a result of wind from the
most critical direction for this parameter. The individual maximums specified
may not occur simultaneously. All forces are referenced to the mounting pipe.
Twisting Moment (MT) Maximum forces exerted on a supporting structure as a result of wind from the
most critical direction for this parameter. The individual maximums specified
may not occur simultaneously. All forces are referenced to the mounting pipe.
VSWR Maximum; is the guaranteed Peak Voltage-Standing-Wave-Ratio within the
operating band.
Wind Speed, operational For VHLP(X), SHP(X), HX and USX antennas, the wind speed where the
maximum antenna deflection is 0.3 x the 3 dB beam width of the antenna. For
other antennas, it is defined as a deflection is equal to or less than 0.1 degrees.
Wind Speed, survival The maximum wind speed the antenna, including mounts and radomes, where
applicable, will withstand without permanent deformation. Realignment may
be required. This wind speed is applicable to antenna with the specified
amount of radial ice.
