The present disclosure relates to a mounting assembly and a mounting kit comprising such a mounting assembly for a base station antenna, wherein the mounting assembly has first and second connection parts, an effective length therebetween is related to the mechanical tilt of the base station antenna, and the effective length is continuously adjustable. The mounting assembly comprises a connecting rod mechanism having a first pair of connecting rods, a second pair of connecting rods, and a threaded connection device, wherein the threaded connection device connects two relatively movable hinged connection parts, the distance between the two hinged connection parts can be continuously adjusted by screwing the threaded connection device, so that the effective length can be continuously adjusted to realize continuous adjustment of the mechanical tilt of the base station antenna.

A system may be provided that may include an end of vehicle device, and an antenna coupled to an exterior of the end of vehicle device. The antenna may be configured to communicate signals to or from the end of vehicle device, and may include a conductive member configured to communicate the signals to or from the end of vehicle device, and a flexible support member disposed within the conductive member and configured to receive, absorb, and displace force from the conductive member.

An example smart antenna mount may couple an antenna alignment device with an antenna. The smart antenna mount may include sensors such as strain gauges and accelerometers, and an electronic circuitry to communicate the measurements from the sensors. The measurements are received by the antenna alignment device, which may perform further operations to determine whether the coupling is within desired bounds. If within desired bounds, the antenna alignment device may generate an indication of a normal coupling, e.g., by activating a first colored (e.g., green) LED. If the coupling is outside the desired bounds, the antenna alignment device may indicate an alarm condition, e.g., activating a second colored (e.g., red) LED or generating an audible signal.

An antenna-structure combination method includes following steps. Provide a circuit board. At least one joint hole penetrating the circuit board is formed in the circuit board. At least one electrode layer and one feeding line are formed on a periphery of the joint hole. The feeding line is electrically connected to the electrode layer. Provide a chip antenna. The chip antenna includes a base. The base has a wiring section. A fixed connection section is arranged at one end of the wiring section. The fixed connection section is formed with a conductive layer. The fixed connection section of the chip antenna penetrates the joint hole of the circuit board, so that the conductive layer is electrically fixed to the electrode layer, so that the chip antenna is fixedly connected onto the circuit board in an upright manner.

A monopole antenna assembly includes a cable having a cable inner conductor and a cable outer conductor. The monopole antenna assembly includes an antenna base including a ground plane. The ground plane is electrically connected to the cable outer conductor using a compression connection. The monopole antenna assembly includes a monopole radiator having a radiating element and a cable connection element extending from the radiating element. The crimp element is coupled to the cable inner conductor at a compression connection.

An integrated radio frequency identification tag and tire pressure monitoring system sensor includes a radio frequency identification tag. The radio frequency identification tag includes an integrated circuit, and a printed circuit board carries the integrated circuit. A tire pressure monitoring system sensor is mounted on the radio frequency identification tag. An antenna includes at least one coil antenna wire. The antenna wire is formed in a helical shape and is electrically connected to the integrated circuit. A first end of the antenna wire is mounted to the printed circuit board. A mechanical interlock between the first end of the antenna wire and the printed circuit board includes features that secure the first end of the antenna wire to the printed circuit board.

An electronic device includes a housing including a front surface facing a first direction, a rear surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a side surface surrounding an inner space between the front surface and the rear surface, where at least part of the side surface includes a conductive portion, a display provided on the front surface of the housing, a printed circuit board (PCB) provided in the inner space, and a coupling member provided on the PCB and coupled to the conductive portion of the side surface, wherein the coupling member contacts the conductive portion of the side surface in the second direction.

An example mount may include a strap (or any other type of clamping mechanism) engaging with an external surface of an antenna. The strap may be connected to a strap base with a canted wall also engaging with the external surface of the antenna. The engagement of the canted wall may be through an abutment of the canted wall against the corresponding external surface of the antenna at a single point or along a single line. Because the entirety of the canted wall does not have to be flush with the corresponding external surface of the antenna, the mount can couple to any kind of antenna form factor, such as curved antennas and antennas with imperfections and protrusions.

An oscillator antenna unit and an antenna are disclosed. The oscillator antenna comprises a plurality of oscillator arms and a guiding sheet. The plurality of oscillator arms extend outwards along a middle axle of the oscillator antenna unit and are arranged at an interval from one another. Extension directions of the oscillator arms form a first plane, and the guiding sheet parallel to the first plane is arranged above the oscillator arms and has a predetermined interval therewith. The antenna comprises at least two oscillator antenna units arranged in an array. Therefore, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure may improve the isolation and achieve a better decoupling effect.
