Note that lower frequencies remain focussed when large arrays are used with large
radii. Smaller systems with small radii will widen coverage at all frequencies but may
cause low frequency build-up on thrust and island stages. Avoid this problem
by augmenting small stage corner systems with WSXs placed along the stage apron.
For a smooth polar crossover:
♦
Array the WSXs to match the curvature of the main clusters' low-mid or mid-
bass section whenever possible but avoid making the front horizontal gaps
greater than 200mm
♦
Avoid large gaps between the main system and the WSXs whenever possible
