Antenna Assembly & Mounting

The longer the wireless video transmission range is, the more critical the alignment of BOTH the

transmitter and receiver antenna. If transmitting over one-mile in range, the vertical or horizontal

adjustment of the antennas can be measured in a few degrees. Consider using a portable Global

Positioning Satellite (GPS) receiver unit to determine the transmitter and receiver angles

accurately. Input the value for both the transmitter and for the receiver and then instruct the GPS

to give us the compass bearings between the two points with a GPS system a 10-mile unit can be

aligned faster than a 1-mile unit installed by “eye”.
