D. PLANNING THE ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Many factors are important when planning an optimum antenna
installation for use with a radar altimeter system. Careful
planning and attention to detail are absolutely necessary. Failure
to install the antennas correctly will cause degradation in system
performance.
Antennas should be mounted near point of aircraft rotation. This
reduces the effect of pitch and roll attitude in altitude read-
ings during approach and landing.
Antennas must be mounted close enough to the R/T so that the an-
tenna cable length does not decrease system sensitivity. Refer
to TABLE 1-2 CABLE INSTALLATIONS for minimum and maximum lengths
and minimum bend radii for cables.
