Vertical exaggeration VE is a Scale ratio scale that is used in raised relief map s, Plans drawings plans and technical drawing s Cross section geometry cross section perspectives . The exaggeration is used to emphasize vertical features, which might be too small to identify relative to the horizontal scale. Vertical exaggeration is given as a number for example 5 means that vertical measurements are 5 times greater than horizontal measurements. A value of 1 indicates that horizontal and vertical scales are identical, and is regarded as having no vertical exaggeration. Vertical exaggerations less than 1 are not common, but indicate a reduction in vertical scale or, equivalently, a horizontal exaggeration .

Normally the maximum of 1.000 or 0 Decibel dB is at the side unless there is beam tilt , which is labeled 0 , to 90 at the top and &minus 90 at the bottom.

Most broadcast antennas use either line of sight propagation line of sight or Surface wave ground wave propagation a slight refraction towards the ground to reach their nearby listeners, and thus want a low angle in the vertical plane. Short wave transmitters want a somewhat higher elevation angle in the vertical plane to encourage skywave propagation, which would refract or reflect radio waves off the ionosphere and back to the ground at a great distance from the transmitter.

Context date October 2009 In options trading, a vertical spread is an options strategy involving buying and selling of multiple options of the same underlying security, same expiration date, but at different strike prices. They can be created with either all calls or all puts.
