Effects of cranes
Crane construction:
      Skelleton type construction of wire type elements
      Horizontal jib and elevating steel ropes are copolarized with the ILS signal
      Horizontal dimension of the vertical supporting structure is smaller than a wavelength
Numerical Analysis/Solution:
      Solution possible only by the integral equation method (moment method MoM))
      Bistatic scattering pattern is azimuthally directive if effectively illuminated
      (see graph as an example)
      Illumination by the ILS-antenna above ground
      Hybrid solution with GTD/UTD superpositions
      Mutual coupling with assembled cranes
      Integration of the partial MoM-solution into the system analysis (DDM)
Results:
      Systematic simulations performed for single cranes and multi-crane assemblies
      (see graph as an example)
      Requires adaption to the given site (relative positions, dimensions, rotation)
      Large/long and high cranes are a real threat for CATIII ILS
      Receiver filtering has to be considered
      Threat and the acceptability for the ILS can be determined in advance
      Determination of threatening jib-positions
      A temporary decategorisation can be avoided for CATIII ILS in case
