Activate
Click to activate or deactivate the fan of beams.
# of Beams in Fan
Within the Fan of Beams field, enter the requested number of beams in the fan. Within the Split Beam field, enter the number of split beams. If you wish all the beams to be split beams, tick the appropriate box.
All beams to be split beams
Click to enable this function during calibration. It will temporarily transform all the beams to split beams in order to make
the beams suited for calibration.
Athwart Beam Opening Angle
Select requested beam opening (in degrees) in the Y direction. Click Apply, and the system will respond with the beam opening obtained. The angle is interpreted to be the requested opening of a vertical
pointing beam, located in the centre of the fan.
Along Beam Opening Angle
Select requested beam opening in X direction. Click Apply, and the system will respond with the beam opening obtained. The angle is interpreted to be the requested opening of a vertical
pointing beam, located in the centre of the fan.
Athwart Centre of Fan
Within the Fan of Beams field, select the requested steering angle (in degrees) for the centre beam in the fan. Within the Split Beam field, enter the steering angle for the centre beam. The steering is selected in terms of which beam in the fan that shall
be the centre beam in the Split Beam field.
Along Centre Angle of Fan
Select requested steering in X-direction for all the beams in the fan.
Beam Spacing Alt(ernatives)
Select beam spacing mode. The alternatives are described below.
|
• |
Linear Select this option if you wish to use equidistant spacing between the centre angles for all the beams in the fan.
|
|
• |
Optimized Spacing of centre angle for beams in the fan is dependent on the opening angle of each beam.
|
|
• |
Manual Selected this option for manual overriding of the steering angle. The XML file description of the beam mode will be used.
|
Beam Spacing Linear
Select the requested spacing (in degrees) of centre angle to be used with the Linear beam spacing mode.
Beam Spacing Optimized
Select requested level on the lobe to be used when calculating the individual spacing of centre angles, with the Optimized beam spacing mode. The value is entered in dB.
Edit
This opens the Beam Mode dialog box for the appropriate beam mode. The Beam Mode dialog box allows you to edit the beam mode’s current operational parameters. When editing a calibrated mode you must ensure the changes you have made are compatible with the calibration data stored with
the configuration.
Delete
Select this button to delete the highlighted beam mode. When deleting a beam mode you will receive a verification question if you really want to delete the beam mode. If the beam mode has been calibrated previously you will receive a second verification question on whether or not you want
to delete the beam mode.
New
This button creates a new beam mode. The Beam Mode dialog box is provided to enter the name of the new beam mode. The new beam mode will be created with a default configuration, and you must edit these parameters using the Edit button.
