* usual antenna types and gains for localizer and glideslope equipment: for localizer the ERP (effective radiated power) is known from various sources as approx 100 W, thus assuming 7-9 dBi antenna gain, glideslope antenna estimated gain 10 dBi <ref>http://www.dbsant.com/gsSpecs.php</ref>. | * usual antenna types and gains for localizer and glideslope equipment: for localizer the ERP (effective radiated power) is known from various sources as approx 100 W, thus assuming 7-9 dBi antenna gain, glideslope antenna estimated gain 10 dBi <ref>http://www.dbsant.com/gsSpecs.php</ref>. | ||
* most sources describe a 16 dB front-to-back ratio, thus being consistent with the default pattern used and shown in the picture above. Corrections welcome. | * most sources describe a 16 dB front-to-back ratio, thus being consistent with the default pattern used and shown in the picture above. Corrections welcome. |
