Then the patch on top of the cube, first hh-pol and then vv-pol
3. After this the 2 rings:
Multiplexing is always alternating from lower to upper ring
=> always elements in columns are measured - upper and lower ring
First all ports with hh-pol => 24
Then all ports with vv-pol =>
> 24
The both rings are switched in clockclock-wise direction
Orientation
1. Antenna multiplexing port 11 shows in opposite direction of driving direction!
(the antenna element with sub channel number 11, right after the cube)
