Radiation Pattern
Figure 76: AN-2001L Radiation Pattern
Optimal antenna performance is realized at
elevations between 10º and 50º.

There is an 8dB variation between 40º
and 90º elevation (factor 6.3x);
therefore, higher elevation satellites
are always more difficult to track.
There is a 3dB variation between 10º
and 0º elevation (factor >2x)
