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.

Operating Frequency Band Bands correspond with CCIR recommendations or common

allocations used throughout the world. Other ranges can be
accommodated on special order.

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.

Boresite Cross Polarization Discrimination (XPD) The difference between the peak of the co-polarized main
beam and the maximum cross-polarized signal over an angle
twice the 3 dB beamwidth of the co-polarized main beam.

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.

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.

VSWR Maximum; is the guaranteed Peak Voltage-Standing-Wave-

Ratio within the operating band.

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

Cross Polarization Discrimination (XPD) Electrical Compliance The difference between the peak of the co-polarized main
beam and the maximum cross-polarized signal over an angle
twice the 3 dB beamwidth of the co-polarized main beam.

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.

Side Force (FS) Maximum side force exerted on the mounting pipe as a
