downtilt

A well-chosen downtilt setting strategy can lower the overall interference in the network.

Electrical downtilt can be provided on all folded dipole arrays.

Electrical downtilt can be provided if ordered.

Mechanical downtilt is set manually by adjusting an antenna fastener.

Positioning means not only setting a correct direction or azimuth, but setting a correct downtilt as well.

The upturn of his cloak collar, the downtilt of his hat brim, hid his features perfectly.

With electrical tilting, front and back lobes tilt in same direction : for example, an electrical downtilt will make both front lobe and back lobe tilt down.

The Regional system uses an omnidirectional antenna with a large antenna pattern downtilt to provide close-in coverage and to minimize interference with other sites through nulling the signal (-16 dB gain) on-horizon.

Unlike antennas for commercial broadcasting - AM, FM and television for example - which must achieve line-of-sight over many miles or kilometers, there is usually a downward beam tilt or downtilt so that the base station can more effectively cover its immediate area and not cause RF interference to distant cells.
