Select location for footprint beamcenter by clicking in the map!
NOTE: The plotter is based on theoretical parabolic transmitter antenna (not covering shaped tx antenna)
Dark red area = inside 3dB beamwidth
Light red area = inside tx antenna main lobe
Red lines = transmitter antenna nulls
(Sidelobes between red lines)
