This calculator allows you to determine the tilt angle of an antenna from the heights of the base antenna and the remote antenna, as well as the distance between them. Height and distance units are automatically converted to meters to ensure optimal accuracy. This tool helps adjust the orientation of the antennas for uniform coverage and reduced interference.
Formula
Angle = atan((Hb − Hr) / Distance)
Explanation of the formula
The arctangent function (atan) calculates the inclination angle from the height difference between the antennas (Hb and Hr) divided by the horizontal distance between them. This approach makes it possible to obtain a precise angle in degrees to correctly orient an antenna according to the topography of the terrain and the desired range.
Uses of the calculator
- Determine the optimal inclination of the antennas for better network coverage.
- Minimize cell-to-cell interference in mobile networks.
- Planning and optimization of base station coverage.
- Useful for telecom engineers and deployment technicians.
