An antenna component for use in an antenna of electronic equipment, includes: a fastening part configured to connect with a metal plate in the electronic equipment, to make the metal plate serve as a part of the antenna component; and a radiator part connected to the fastening part and configured to generate antenna resonances in at least one frequency band.

An active antenna may be installed within a ceiling assembly of a building to improve the range of a wireless and/or cellular network. Further, a ground plane may be installed throughout the ceiling to reduce the occurrence of multipath interference of radio frequency (RF) signals. In addition, one or more active and/or passive antennas may also be installed in the ceiling to further extend the range of the wireless and/or cellular network within the building. Each of the antennas may be designed to facilitate (RF) signal gain for a collection or range of frequencies. In some instances, the installation of active and/or passive antennas may increase the range of a communications network, while the installation of a ground plane throughout the ceiling may reduce the occurrence on multipath interference resulting in improved wireless and/or cellular network performance including increased bandwidth and range.

A system and method for at least partially concealing a communications antenna without preventing the communications antenna from receiving electromagnetic signals, the system and method comprising a composite material that allows electromagnetic signals to be transmitted therethrough without significant degradation and which may function as a component of a building or structure in which a communications antenna is to be located or to which a communications antenna is to be attached.

A device for receiving and re-radiating electromagnetic signals. The device includes at least a waveguide with a first set of slot radiators for receiving electromagnetic signals, and a second set of slot radiators for transmitting electromagnetic signals generated on the basis of the received electromagnetic signals in the waveguide. The first set of slot radiators includes one or more slot radiators, and the second set of slot radiators includes one or more slot radiators. The device also relates to a method for receiving and re-radiating electromagnetic signals by a device including at least a waveguide, and the use of the device as a repeater of electromagnetic signals, for transferring electromagnetic signals through a structure, and/or as a building product.

A connector, a built-in antenna structure, and an unmanned aerial vehicle using the built-in antenna structure. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes a body, and a support stand including a receiving rod. The built-in antenna structure includes a connector, a buffer and an antenna. The antenna and the buffer are received in the receiving rod, with the buffer wrapping the antenna. The connector is disposed between the receiving rod and the body to drive the receiving rod to rotate relative to the body. One end of the antenna protrudes from the connector and is electrically connected with the body. In an embodiment, the space occupied by the antenna is reduced, and the service life of the antenna and the overall appearance of the unmanned aerial vehicle are improved. Moreover, the angle of the receiving rod can be adjusted, for facilitating reception of signals by the antenna.

Mounting systems and apparatus are provided for attaching a mast to a structure at a desired orientation. The mounting apparatus includes a base support and a ball mount. The base support can be rigidly attached to a portion of the structure. The ball mount receives a ball associated with the mast to thereby allow the mast to be positioned and maintained at the desired orientation. The mounting apparatus may be used, for example, for attaching a digital broadcast satellite (DBS) antenna to a fascia or other portion of a home or other structure.

A user-terminal clamp that receives a user terminal of a satellite communications system, wherein the clamp clamps to a roof of a structure in either of two orthogonal orientations. The clamp includes a frame having a pair of movable clamping members that are actuated by a handle. The frame includes slots or channels that receive ribs that are disposed on the underside of the user terminal.

A header, with improved cooling for electronic components for radio frequency signal transmission, for an electronic component for radio frequency data transfer, includes: a metallic base body including a plurality of electrical feedthroughs; a thermoelectric cooling element having one side bearing on the base body and an opposite side for mounting the electronic component; a radio frequency line to the electronic component being on the side for mounting the electronic component, with a ground conductor that is electrically connected to the metallic base body, the electrical connection to the metallic base body including a telluride element.

Antenna systems for controlled coverage in buildings are disclosed where a data communications network in a building includes one or more external antennas. At least one of the external antennas is disposed on a roof or exterior of the building disposed in or associated with a window, a sky sensor or a digital architectural element. The one or more external antennas are coupled to a network infrastructure of the building via one or more data carrying lines and/or wireless links and are configured for communication with an external wireless network. The network infrastructure includes one or more data carrying lines, one or more network switches, and at least one control panel. In some embodiments, at least one of the external antennas is configured for communication with an external wireless network.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device for communicating with an external electronic device while coupled to a mounting member that can be fixed to a wall or window of a building may be provided.
