Calculating Downtilt

Formula angle = tan-1

( (h d-h ) )
1 2

Where: h1= Elevation of the base antenna (ft) h2= Elevation of the mobile antenna (ft) d = Distance (ft)

Example 1 mile = 5,280 ft 6.2 miles x 5,280 = 32,736 ft 2400 32, 736 = 0.0733138 tan-1(0.0733138) = 4.2 degrees

6.2 miles 11,000 feet

2,400 feet

8,600 feet
