Understanding the Meaning of Azimuth Angle for a Transmitter: A Look at 270 Degrees

What this angle to the transmitter means. For example, 270 degrees.

Azimuth - the angle between the southern direction and the direction of antenna reception in the horizontal plane.

Probably the northern direction ...

For the satellite antenna, the azimuth is given from the south. We do not know what the author expects.

Of course, my mistake.

Geographical azimuth - the angle between the northern part of the geographical meridian and the given horizontal direction. Like every azimuth, it is counted clockwise from the north direction defined by the reference meridian, and its value is expressed in an angular rate

In truth, I have not met any satellite calculator (e.g. link . link ) provided an azimuth calculated from the southern part of the meridian. Sometimes, for ease of use, the angle of the antenna's direction is set = azimuth minus 180 °.

In this case, it may have a positive or negative value - depending on whether the antenna "looks" east or west of the meridian.

However, when it comes to the question of the author of the subject, I get the impression that it is about terrestrial TV transmitter . Azimuth 270 ° is exactly the western direction - looking from the place of reception.
