2.2 Site preparation
The following topics have to be considered when installing the ADU:
• General site considerations
• Obstructions (ADU shadowing)
• Blocking zones – azimuth and elevation
• Safe access to the ADU: Radiation hazard
• Ship motion and offset from the ship’s motion centre
• ADU mast design: Foundation and height
• Interference
• Other precautions
2.2.1 General site considerations
For optimum system performance, some guidelines on where to install or mount the
different components of the FV-110 System must be followed.
It is recommended to mount the ADU in a location with as much 360° free line of sight to
the satellite as possible while making sure that the support structure fulfills the
requirements for the mast foundation. The ADU must be mounted on stiffened structures
with a minimum of exposure to vibrations.
