The video below from YouTuber Clash With Ash shows off some base design ideas to make use of the Sweeper. The anti-air tower serves a very specific function, and given that it's not there to just dish out more damage like many structures, there are scenarios and locations that maximize its value.
Placing a Sweeper just anywhere won't hurt, but there are definitely going to be layouts that keep enemies away while allowing other defenses to deal damage better than others. The video describes three different methods of setting up the Sweeper: clustering air defenses opposite the Sweeper, luring attacks from the southwest with bomb fortifications, and guarding the north while making enemies go through more units in the south.
