Sensor Direction
In terms of azimuth (or horizontal direction), aim the center of the sensor towards the center
of the area of interest. Figure 10 demonstrates detection performance – maximum range as
a function of angle of approach from the birds-eye view. Ensure that sensor is level with the
ground, otherwise, sensor coverage area might be reduced depending on the sensor's
elevation angle coverage and the degree of tilt relative to the ground.
-
In terms of tilt angle, to achieve the best performance refer to Table 3 and Figure 7.
The rule of thumb is to point the radar such that the maximum desired detection
range is at the center of the elevation coverage range of the radar.
Tilt recommendations relate to the height of radar compared to ground level at a
-
maximum range of interest. When installing in extremely un-level terrains (e.g. on top
of a steep hill) tilt angle might need further adjustment
