Mounting: Rod Assembly
Ideally, the standpipe should be as short as possible. If your
application requires a standpipe that exceeds our
recommended maximum lengths, consider using a waveguide
and horn combination. If you create a new standpipe for the
radar unit, ensure the weld seams are on the outside of the
standpipe, not the inside.
Ensure that there are no seams or lips on the inside of the
standpipe or you may get erratic readings.
If the mounting illustrated above is not suitable due to the minimum blanking
requirements, consider this option:
Standpipes that are 8 or larger in diameter provide excellent signal conditions. These
conditions allow for standpipe lengths of up to 24 using the standard rod without any
extensions.
