Radome position on radar arch

Rob,

Q1: Should I notice interference with both the tv and wifi antenna in that scenario, rather than seeing anything on the radar display?
A1: Indeed, positioning the radome too close to the specified antennas may result in interference with the TV and Wi-Fi, rather than adversely affecting the performance/life of the radome. The reason for specifying minimum distances from other antennas is to minimize the risk of RF energy from a transmitting antenna causing damage to the receivers devices which have been connected to nearby antennas. The safest solution is to provide the recommended minimum spacing and/or provide vertical separation.
