Were it not so, broadcasters would use tillted towers. An excercise I`ve performed countless times is microwave path establishment and optimization. I`ve bolted the tiny dipole feed into the dish selecting horizontal polarization over vertical polarization in most cases. To establish a path, I set the azimuth using a transit and Coast and Geodetic Survey maps to aim the dish on path. To aim for the horizon as needed for a long path, I simply use a bubble level on the feed horn. As soon as the signal appears, optimizarion begins by refining azimuth, elevation, and polarization for maximum limiter current in the receiver. Never have I seen any adjustment other than azimuth make any change in the signal received. Parallel antennas at both ends of the path are optimum. The same is true with vertical polarization for what is essentially free-space propagation except for the grazing near the middle of the path. Tilt as Art implies it is a myth. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI Richard, You are living in the past. Learn how to use a computor then use it to learn for yourself so that you can be a worthwhile contributor instead of a book parrot. First proove it for your self then share findings that you obtain for yourself.Ofcourse that isn't going to happen since you don't want to learn how to use a computor because you hate change. If Roy is a friend of yours ask him to check it out on his computor program or ask anybody who has a computor to check it for you before mounting your podium. with silly statements. Why can't you do that vector trial have you forgotten that ol;d electrical stuff? Does old age give you enough license to live a continual senior moment for days at a time? |
