configuration.
Figure 1: Separation distances between antennas
Be especially careful about the distance between the combo
antenna and any sources of magnetic interference (for
example, the INMARSAT antenna).
Mounting a loop antenna
Mounting a loop-type antenna in close proximity to a radome
(radar-set antenna) can degrade signals or cause a complete loss
of the beacon signal. The klystron or magnetron contained in the
radar antenna produces a very dense magnetic field, whether or
not the radar set is turned on. These magnetic field effects are
also present during the operation of the servo motors located on
gyro-stabilized TV or INMARSAT communications dish
platforms. Signal-degradation checks should be performed before
finalizing the installation.
