RF BOX CATEGORIES – Antenna
This type of RF Box allows adding R-port(s) only RF boxes – antennas to the
configuration.
There are three sub-categories with predefined templates by purpose and type of
control. First template is for simple, Single Antenna. Second for Vertical Arrays and third
named Other stands for any, custom antenna.
SINGLE ANTENNA
When this RF Box is added to the list, five sub-tabs are automatically created.
Interconnections
Is a tab specifying to which RF box the R port of the antenna is connected. This tab is for information only as the
connection an antenna is assigned from an A port on the preceding RF box (typically a switch).
Directions
•
Rotator
If an antenna can rotate, the Rotator
selection specifies the rotator to which the
antenna is assigned. The box shows only
rotators defined on the Rotators tab. If
antenna is fixed select
none.
•
Directionality
Specifies directional pattern of the
antenna which is used for drawing
compass on SMD display.
Directional beams (Yagis, Quads etc ..)
should be selected as
Uni-directional
antennas. Bi-directional antennas are for
example dipoles, Omni-directional are verticals. If this field is set as
Unspecified
, directional compass
will not be displayed for that antenna.
•
Azimuth offset / Fixed Azimuth
This field changes meaning depending on the Rotator and Directionality settings. If antenna is assigned
to a rotator, this field allows to setting the antenna
Azimuth offset
relative to the rotator. If rotator is set
to none, this field allows specifying a
Fixed azimuth
for Uni and Bi-directional antennas.
•
RX safe antenna
Using this flag, an antenna can be set as “same band RX safe antenna.” This flag is useful only for
setups with two or more SMDs and serves as an special antenna property which allows using the
antenna for receiving even if two stations are tuned on same band. Use of such antenna will be
described further on the
Security
tab.
WARNING:
Do not set this checkbox until you 100% sure there is sufficient isolation between any TX
antenna and the
RX safe
antenna. In sufficient isolation may cause receiver damage!
