The Friis formula can be used to calculate isolation for any relative position and orientation
of two antennas;
2) Taking antenna mounting imperfections into account the gain values should be chosen
conservatively;
3) If the antennas are located and oriented such that they are in the sidelobe region of each
other, the peak gain level in the sidelobe regions can be used. A conservative
approximation of the isolation is then
IF
= 22 + 20 log(r/ λ) – (Gt,SL + Gr,SL)
Here Gx,SL = Gx,PEAK+ SLL is the peak gain in the sidelobe region
