Axial Force (FA) Maximum forces exerted on a supporting structure as a result of wind from the most critical direction for this parameter. The individual maximums specified may not occur simultaneously. All forces are referenced to the mounting pipe. Cross Polarization Discrimination (XPD) The difference between the peak of the copolarized main beam and the maximum crosspolarized signal over an angle twice the 3 dB beamwidth of the copolarized main beam. FronttoBack Ratio Denotes highest radiation relative to the main beam, at 180 40, across the band. Production antennas do not exceed rated values by more than 2 dB unless stated otherwise. Gain, Mid Band For a given frequency band, gain is primarily a function of antenna size. The gain of Andrew antennas is determined by either gain by comparison or by computer integration of the measured antenna patterns. Operating Frequency Band Bands correspond with CCIR recommendations or common allocations used

Wind Velocity Operational The wind speed where the antenna deflection is equal to or less than 0.1 degrees. In the case of ValuLine antennas, it is defined as a maximum deflection of 0.3 x the 3 dB beam width of the antenna. Wind Velocity Survival Rating The maximum wind speed the antenna, including mounts and radomes, where applicable, will withstand without permanent deformation. Realignment may be required.
