The efficiency of a cellular network depends of its correct configuration and ad
justment of radiant systems: their transmit and receive antennas.
And one of the more important system optimizations task is based on correct adju
sting tilts, or the inclination of the antenna in relation to an axis. With the
tilt, we direct irradiation further down (or higher), concentrating the energy i
n the new desired direction.
When the antenna is tilted down, we call it 'downtilt', which is the most common
use. If the inclination is up (very rare and extreme cases), we call 'uptilt'.
Note: for this reason, when we refer to tilt in this tutorial this means we're t
alking about 'downtilt'. When we need to talk about 'uptilt' we'll use this nome
nclature, explicitly.
