Hold on there Bradley... An antenna that is built for a higher frequency than what you are inputting will exhibit downtilt in its original orientation. Kevin bradley glen wrote: Hi All I agree with Kevin and have used this in the commercial field where the anteena was originallt cut hi

Hi All I agree with Kevin and have used this in the commercial field where the anteena was originallt cut higher than was to be used. I mounted the antenna upside-down and had good results-with some noticed downtilt which was good for the application .On the same token keep in mind that most of

  If a coaxial collinear is fed with a signal that is 2% lower than its design, the antenna will exhibit a vertical beam downtilt of approximately 3 degrees and suffer approximately 10% loss in overall gain.  If a signal that is 2% higher than the antenna design is fed into a coaxial collinea

I think what Chuck was getting at was the 'automatic' beamtilt of a vertical omni collinear (usually fiberglass) when it is run outside of its specified bandwidth.  As a function of the element length in a coaxial collinear as compared to the applied frequency, the vertical beam pattern will

Kind of loaded question/statement/answer really. All antennas have both horizontal and vertical beamwidth. Depending on what you think is beam-tilt... one could and some do say all antennas have a beam tilt and or a beam width. Others combine the description... In the more commercial world o
