• Azimuth scanning range (°), (GH)
• C&D (for Customized GoB) can be set by SW
• A&B can be set by SW for customized GoB

Scanning Range defines the range of angles in azimuth and elevation in which the AAS is optimized and intended to be
operated.

The minimum azimuth and elevation beamwidth can be achieved when all the radiators in the AAS are active and fed with
uniform phase and amplitude
