Comparison of
Mechanical and Electrical Downtilt
Mechanical Electrical

The downtilt angle varies over the horizontal beamwidth. Pat-

terns measured 90 from the center of the beam have decreas-
ing tilt angle until there is no tilt 90 from the main beam.

The horizontal half-power beam width increases with greater

downtilt angle.

The resulting gain reduction depends on azimuth direction.

There is uniform downtilt over the whole azimuth range.

The horizontal half-power beamwidth is independent of the

downtilt angle.

There is identical gain reduction in all azimuth directions.
