The present disclosure describes a telecommunications equipment mount. The telecommunications equipment mount includes a stabilization frame having a plurality of lower rails, a plurality of vertical rails, and a plurality of upper rails, the lower, vertical, and upper rails forming a top, a bottom, and at least sides of the stabilization frame to define an open interior cavity; at least one mounting member extending outwardly from, and perpendicular to, one of the sides of the stabilization frame a distance; at least one brace member coupled to the stabilization frame and configured to support the at least one mounting member; and at least one mounting pipe secured to the at least one mounting member. The stabilization frame is configured to ballast the mount on a mounting structure when telecommunications equipment is secured to the at least one mounting pipe. Telecommunications equipment mount assemblies are also described herein.

Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of telecommunication control units (TCUs) having top surfaces (e.g., defined by mounting brackets, etc.) configured (e.g., curved, non-flat, contoured, etc.) to follow, match, and/or correspond with the contours (e.g., curvatures, non-flat contours, etc.) of vehicle roofs (or other vehicle body walls or mounting surfaces). Also disclosed are exemplary embodiments of TCU mounting brackets configured (e.g., curved, non-flat, contoured, etc.) to follow, match, and/or correspond with the contours (e.g., curvatures, non-flat contours, etc.) of vehicle roofs (or other vehicle body walls or mounting surfaces). Exemplary methods relating to installation of TCUs to vehicle body walls are disclosed. An exemplary method may include positioning a top surface (e.g., defined by a mounting bracket, etc.) of a telecommunication control unit against the vehicle body wall. The top surface may be configured (e.g., curved, non-flat, contoured, etc.) to match and/or correspond with a contour of the vehicle body wall.

A patch antenna is provided with an antenna main body including a radiating element on an upper surface of a dielectric body; and a parasitic element disposed at a predetermined distance from the radiating element. The parasitic element is a metal material having an upward convex shape as a whole and including a planar portion which is parallel to the upper surface of the radiating element and two bent portions which are inclined portions inclined from both ends of the planar portion toward the radiating element. While the parasitic element has a three-dimensional shape as a whole, the parasitic element has a planar-view area wider than a planar-view area of the radiating element in a planar view as seen from the first surface side of the dielectric body, and is provided in a position apart from the radiating element and to cover the radiating element.

An antenna mounting bracket assembly for coupling an antenna to a vehicle includes a first plate, a bar, and a coupler. A set of apertures positioned in the first plate is configured to be aligned with hinge holes positioned in an upper hinge. Hinge bolts are insertable through the apertures, the hinge holes, and holes positioned in a door frame of the vehicle so that the first plate is coupled to the vehicle. A spacer is coupled to and extends from a first face of the first plate. The bar is coupled to and extends from the spacer distal from the first plate so that the bar extends between the door frame and a door when the door is closed. The coupler is coupled to the bar distal from the spacer and is configured to couple to a mount of an antenna to couple the antenna to the vehicle.

A vehicle antenna device includes an antenna base, an antenna case that covers the antenna base, and an antenna element positioned inside the antenna case and including a capacitive element and a coil element. The coil element includes a supporting body and a winding held by the supporting body, and the supporting body has a support area and projections that are formed along an axial direction of the coil element and hold the winding in the support area.

The invention discloses a planar antenna including an antenna body and fasteners for fixing a picture or photo. The antenna body has a first surface and a second surface that are opposite to each other, and the fasteners are provided on the first surface and/or the second surface. A user can fix the picture or photo to the antenna body through the fasteners, so that the planar antenna can become a photo frame or a display board, which enables the antenna to become part of indoor design for decorating interior space.

A roof antenna including an antenna base with a base plate, a spindle, a driver arranged on the spindle, and a locking element having a first limb and a second limb. The first limb has a first latching hook and the second limb has a second latching hook. The first limb and the second limb extend through an aperture in the base plate. A translatory movement of the driver on the spindle is transferred into a displacement of the locking element in a displacement direction perpendicular to the base plate.

A walk-though gate (WTG) is presented. The WTG includes a WTG structure including a first wall and a second wall, the first and second walls defining a walk though pass way between an entrance and exit, at least one sensor located at the entrance and the exit of a cavity defined by the walk though pass way, at least one first antenna facing toward an inside region of the WTG structure, at least one second antenna facing away from the inside region of the WTG structure, an RFID reader connected to the at least one first and second antennas, and a judgement module to judge if an RFID tag is located inside or outside the walk though gate structure.
