To ensure the best range possible, radio antennas should be placed at the highest possible position on your vehicle's roof.

ADAS Antenna Placement - Base Station Setup

The transmission of the 2.4 GHz VBOX to VBOX Radio Antenna is very direct and has a narrow beam width. To ensure the best range possible, radio antennas should be placed ...

On the highest part of the vehicle roof.
Away from any nearby obstructions that could cause a potential blockage to the path of the signal.
On a 90º angle to the roof to ensure maximum transmission power in the horizontal plane.
At least 50 cm away from other radio antennas.

Using a telescopic antenna mast for the Base Station Radio Module will help to maximise the range (Mast mount radio option - RLACS153-24).

ADAS Antenna Placement - Moving Base Setup

In a Moving Base setup (and if you are using only 2.4 GHz radios in a static Base Station setup) the RTK DGPS correction radio antenna has the same height as the VBOX to VBOX Comms radio antenna (24TR).

To eliminate near-field RF interference, which can occur when radios transmit or receive radio frequency messages on the same height, all server radios in a Moving Base System (RLRTM24MBS) have been replaced by a longer radio antenna as of 1st December 2013.
