Parameter Description
Antenna Azimuth Synopsis: A number between 0 and 359
The angle between true north and the perpendicular projection of the base station onto
the horizon.
Antenna Downdrift Synopsis: A number between -90 and +90
The degree of beamtilt compared to the horizon. A negative value means the antenna is
tilted up (above horizontal).
Gain Synopsis: A number between -127 and +128
The antenna's peak gain, measured on the decibel logarithmic scale (dBi).
Antenna Type Synopsis: { Omni, Directional }
Default: Omni
The type of antenna used by the subscriber unit. Options include:
• Omni – Omni-directional antenna
• Directional – Directional antenna
Beam Width Synopsis: A number between 0 and 360
The width of the antenna's beam, measured in degrees (°), on the horizontal-plane.
A value of 360 means the antenna has an omni-directional radiation pattern in the
horizontal plane.
