Figure 2.Azimuth antenna scanning beam and TRSB convention. Maximum, typical, and minimum values of the magnitude of the azimuth at the limits of the coverage volume are indicated. (After M. F. DiBenedetto, Development of Critical-Area Criteria for Protecting Microwave Landing System Azimuth and Elevation Guidance Signals, Dissertation, Fritz J. and Dolores H. Russ College of Engineering and Technology, Ohio University, Athens, March 1999)
