5.7. Antenna Parameters and Beam Steering The required antenna size and form factor depends on the specific use case. The antenna form factor should be described with reference to expected size for the use cases. The antenna pattern has to be described in at least a horizontal and a vertical diagram (c.f. and Cross-Channel Interference). Proposers shall indicate how the necessary beam steering can be applied. Furthermore, proposers have to provide information on the required precision for the antenna alignment and the impact on the system performance in terms of SNR (or gross data rate) of small misalignments. Any additional information the proposer desires to provide on the antenna such as frequency response or on the beam steering approach be beneficial.
