For rotations of less than +/- 45 degrees this effect is not
large, but for larger rotations the sensitivity will decrease
rapidly.

2.3.2 The footprint of the radiator
The coverage area of a radiator depends on the number
of transmitted carriers and the output power of the radia-
tor. The coverage area of the LBB 4512 radiator is twice as
large as the coverage area of the LBB 4511. The coverage
area can also be doubled by mounting two radiators side
by side. The total radiation energy of a radiator is distrib-
uted over the transmitted carriers. When more carriers
are used,the coverage area gets proportionally smaller.
The receiver requires a strength of the IR signal of 4
mW/m2 per carrier to work without errors (resulting in a
80 dB S/N ratio for the audio channels). The effect of the
number of carriers on the coverage area can be seen in
figure 2.5 and figure 2.6.The radiation pattern is the
area within which the radiation intensity is at least the
minimum required signal strength.

1 to 8 carriers

The cross section of the 3-dimensional radiation pattern
with the floor of the conference venue is known as the
footprint (the white area in figure 2.7 to figure 2.9).
This is the floor area in which the direct signal is strong
enough to ensure proper reception, when the receiver is
directed towards the radiator. As shown, the size and
position of the footprint depends on the mounting height
and angle of the radiator.
