Aligning the SU’s Antenna 

 

 

NOTE 

 

 

If you are h

more precise alignment of the antenna. 

 

 

 

NOTE 

Applicable only to BreezeACCESS VL SU 

 

In some cases, the antenna of the BreezeACCESS VL SU may need to be tilted to 
ensure that the level at whi

ns from the AU (and vice 

ch the SU receives transmissio

versa) is not too high. As a rule of thumb, if the SU is located at a distance of less than 
300 meters from the AU, it 

 up-tilt the antenna by approximately 10

°

 

is recommended to

to 15

°

.  To guarantee a safety margin from the saturation level (received signal of –

40dBm at the antenna port), the SNR should not be higher than 50dB. The orange LED 
of the SNR bar indicates that the SNR is higher than 50dB.
