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.
Cross Polarization Discrimination (XPD) The difference between the peak of the copolarized main beam and the
maximum crosspolarized signal over an angle twice the 3 dB beamwidth of
the copolarized main beam.
FronttoBack 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
Packing Andrew standard packing is suitable for export. Antennas are shipped as
standard in totally recyclable cardboard or wirebound crates (dependent on
product). For your convenience, Andrew offers heavy duty export packing
options.
Radiation Pattern Envelope Reference (RPE) Radiation patterns determine an antenna’s ability to discriminate against
unwanted signals under conditions of radio congestion. Radiation patterns
are dependent on antenna series, size, and frequency.
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 axial forces exerted on support structures by side struts as a result
of a 200 km/h (125 mph) wind from the most critical direction and extreme
angle permitted. The forces are a component of, not in addition to, the
maximum forces specified above.
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 VoltageStandingWaveRatio within the
operating band.
Wind Velocity Operational The wind speed where the antenna deflection is equal to or less than 0.1
degrees.
Wind Velocity Survival Rating Microwave antennas, including mounts and radomes, where applicable, will
withstand the simultaneous wind and ice conditions as specified.
