VERTICAL PAIR

This array has been engineered for maximum gain
with narrow vertical beam width to reduce the
effects of man-made noise in the immediate fore-
ground. Where fixed sources of noise such as
power lines exist, it may be possible to improve the
signal to interference ratio with a custom designed
array.

* These standard arrays have been designed for maximum forward gain and best overall sidelobe performance. where interfering signals such as co­channel, adjacent channel and ghosting are present, custom arrays can be designed to reduce the level of interference by as much as 40 db in
most cases.
