Material Science:
Conventional: Hot-dip galvanized steel (cheap but 40% faster corrosion vs. alternatives)
High-Performance: Copper-clad steel rods (ISO 1461 certified) – 25-year service life even in coastal C5 corrosion zones
Physics-Driven Design:
Height = ≥1.5x tallest antenna (e.g., 9m rod for 6m antennas)
45° cone of protection coverage (IEC 62305 standard)
Critical Specs:
Cross-section: ≥50 mm² (copper) / ≥80 mm² (aluminum)
Routing: Straight vertical path (no bends >90°) – each 45° bend increases impedance by 17%
Key Upgrade: Parallel redundancy – 4 down-conductors spaced at 90° intervals cut surge failure risk by 83% (Ericsson field data)
Low-Impedance Earth: Target <5Ω resistance (critical for <10μs surge dissipation):
| Soil Type | Grounding Solution | Electrode Depth |
|---|---|---|
| Rocky (1000Ω·m) | Chemical backfill + 12m borehole | 6m minimum |
| Wet Clay (30Ω·m) | Ring electrode + radial wires | 1.2m |
Military Trick: Cascaded ground rings – inner ring for tower base, outer ring for fence (creates Faraday cage effect)
