Page 25: Antenna Beam Patterns
TRACER 6000 Series Integrated System Manual Antenna Beam Patterns Antennas used with the TRACER 64x0 system have a particular beam shape, determined in part by the physical construction and geometry of the antenna. The antenna beam patterns are characterized by a dominant main lobe, which is the preferred lobe to use for point-to-point communications, and several side lobes, as shown in Figure 2.
