ANTENNA RECEIVE PATTERN
The Array Antenna has a built-in directional antenna with a receive pattern that varies based on its
distance from the transmitter. The horizontal receive angle measures 55° at 5,000 ft (1.5 km), 104° at
4,000 ft (1.25 km), and is effectively omni directional at up to 500 ft (150 m). The vertical receive angle
measures 20° at any distance.
500 ft (150 m) ~ 360°
5,000 ft (1.5 km) ~ 55°
4,000 ft (1.25 km) ~ 104°
20°

• Orient the transmitter and receiver so they are parallel to
each other.
•
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS
INSERTED INTO THE RECEIVER’S
3/8” THREADED HOLES. Doing so can damage the
receiver’s chassis, voiding the warranty.
• The Array Antenna has three 3/8” threaded holes: One on the bottom for mounting the
included light stand adapter or any 3/8” mounting accessory, and one on each side to mount to a
yoke mount bracket assembly.
MOUNTING
CAUTION:
• Mount the Array Antenna vertically, keeping it clear of any obstructions.
• For best results, orient the Array Antenna so the front
(with the Teradek logo) has a clear line−of−sight to the
transmitter.
