    iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual INSTALLATION OF iFleetONE™ TERMINAL 1.5 Installation of ADU 1.5.1 Overview In general, any obstructing objects like a mast near the antenna unit can block reception or transmission from the satellite’s line of sight. In addition, RF radiation emitting from the antenna will affect the human body.
  • Page 18: Interference

    The antenna unit must be mounted as far as possible away from the HF antennas, communication/navigations, VSAT systems and any high power radio transmitter (including other Inmarsat-based systems). Radar It is difficult to provide the exact minimum distance between a radar and the antenna unit due to different type of radars in terms of power, radiation pattern and operating frequency band.
  • Page 19 iFleetONE™ Terminal Installation Manual The table below gives the recommended minimum distance d between X- and S- band radars and the antenna. Antenna damage is normally avoided by ensuring the separation distance is met or exceeded. Antenna location at the minimum distance from Radar (S-Band) Radar Min distance (d) at ±15⁰...
