In Ekahau Site Survey, when planning a warehouse deployment using patch (directional) antennas, the antenna downtilt setting is the critical adjustment made when placing simulated APs on the floor plan map. Patch antennas have a defined radiation pattern with a main lobe that must be aimed precisely at the intended coverage zone. In a warehouse environment, APs with patch antennas are typically wall-mounted and aimed down aisles. The downtilt angle determines the vertical component of the antenna ' s aim — adjusting the downtilt in Ekahau tilts the simulated antenna ' s main radiation lobe downward toward the warehouse floor and the working zone of RF scanner devices, rather than projecting RF energy horizontally at an ineffective angle. Ekahau allows engineers to specify the horizontal and vertical orientation of the antenna in three dimensions, and the downtilt value directly controls how the software models the antenna ' s coverage pattern in the vertical plane. AP channel (Option A) is set during channel planning, not during AP placement. Wi-Fi technology (Option B) determines the modulation and protocol standard but is set as an AP property. AP transmission power (Option D) controls cell radius but is set separately from antenna orientation.
