Methods for manufacturing a vehicle sensor module, such as a RADAR sensor module. In some implementations, the method may comprise forming a sub-assembly comprising a plurality of stacked layers formed into a self-contained radome and adhering the sub-assembly to a first side of an antenna block, the first side comprising a plurality of waveguide grooves formed therein. The sub-assembly may be applied so as to provide a weatherproof seal to each of the plurality of waveguide grooves formed in the antenna block. A PCB layer may be applied to a second side of the antenna block opposite the first side and the antenna block may be seated within a cover such that the second side is protected by the cover and the first side is protected by the self-contained radome.

A vehicular antenna device includes an antenna portion having an antenna element, and a frame accommodating a heat generation member. The vehicular antenna device is configured to be attached to an attachment portion of a vehicle. The frame includes a first space portion having a cylindrical shape and defining a first space, the first space portion being exposed to an outside air in a condition where the vehicular antenna device is attached to the vehicle. The heat generation member is located along a second surface of the frame that is a reverse side of a first surface defining the first space. The antenna portion is detachable from the frame.

A mounting device for covering a roof penetration in a roof includes a base having a hub, an outer perimeter structure, an open top, an open bottom, and ribs extending from the hub outward to the outer perimeter structure. An internal reservoir in communication with the open top and the open bottom. At least one of the ribs is formed with a bore for receiving a fastener for fastening the mounting device at the roof penetration.

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.

Provided are a self-driving control device and an unmanned driving device with the same. The self-driving control device includes a mounting base, a control device, a communication device, and an antenna assembly, the mounting base is provided with an accommodation cavity, the control device is disposed in the accommodation cavity, the communication device is disposed in the accommodation cavity and electrically connected to the control device, and the antenna assembly is mounted on the mounting base and electrically connected to the communication device.

The satellite dish baseplate serves as a support panel integrated into plywood and installed on the roof of a home to provide simpler stationing of a direct-to-home satellite. Particularly when new houses are being built, the baseplate can be utilized for either eastern or western satellites. Such satellites can be attached or detached from the baseplate. The plate comes with all the necessary threaded holes and additionally has a cover for when the baseplate is not in use by a satellite dish.

In an example embodiment, a waveguide device comprises: a first common waveguide; a polarizer section, the polarizer section including a conductive septum dividing the first common waveguide into a first divided waveguide portion and a second waveguide divided portion; a second waveguide coupled to the first divided waveguide portion of the polarizer section; a third waveguide coupled to the second divided waveguide portion of the polarizer section; and a dielectric insert. The dielectric insert includes a first dielectric portion partially filling the polarizer section. The conductive septum and the dielectric portion convert a signal between a polarized state in the first common waveguide and a first polarization component in the second waveguide and a second polarization component in the third waveguide.

A roof antenna for mounting on a roof of a vehicle comprises a base plate, an antenna cap connected to the base plate, a circuit board disposed under the antenna cap and having a plurality of antenna elements and a plug connection, a central dome connected to the base plate and having a screw thread, a star wheel interacting with the central dome, and a first O-ring secured on the central dome. The first O-ring fixes the central dome movably with respect to the star wheel and/or the base plate.

An antenna device configured to be attached to a vehicle includes: an antenna of a resonance type; and a matching circuit connected to the antenna, wherein the matching circuit includes a first matching circuit connected to a feeding portion of the antenna and a second matching circuit connected to a subsequent stage of the first matching circuit, wherein the first matching circuit reduces an impedance in a frequency band that is away to a higher-frequency range or a lower-frequency range from a resonance point of the antenna such that the impedance is lower than before connection of the first matching circuit, and the second matching circuit increases an impedance in a vicinity of the resonance point of the antenna such that the impedance is higher than before connection of the second matching circuit.
