Its components (e.g., radio frequency (RF) circuit boards) are modular so as to interoperate with various third-party compatible devices.

Various embodiments provide an antenna hitch mount for securing an antenna, such as a satellite dish, to a vehicle. According to one embodiment, the hitch mount includes a hitch mounting portion, a plate, and an antenna mounting portion. The hitch mounting portion is configured to be inserted in to a hitch. The hitch mounting portion includes holes that are on opposite sides of the hitch mounting portion and are aligned with each other. The plate is used to couple the hitch mounting portion and the antenna mounting portion to each other. The antenna mounting portion is configured to support an antenna. Namely, an antenna is secured to the antenna mounting portion by a fastening device, such as a mast clamp.

A mobile antenna array system has a first baseplate with a first groundplane. An elevated second baseplate defines an elevated second groundplane. A plurality of support antennas are positioned between the first baseplate and the elevated second baseplate. The plurality of support antennas comprise multiple antennas configured to work at different frequencies. The plurality of support antennas are coupled to the first and second baseplates in mechanical connections that provide enhanced stability, tight tolerances, repeatability and low cost through the use of printed circuit boards as substrates for one or more of the antennas and baseplates. An elevated GPS antenna is positioned above the elevated second baseplate in use. The elevated GPS antenna is configured to work within a GPS range of frequencies different from the support antenna ranges of frequencies. The elevated GPS antenna has improved GPS transmissions and the support antennas also have improved positioning and functionality due to locating the GPS antenna above the support antennas and second baseplate.

Disclosed is an antenna clamping device, which includes: an arm unit which is coupled to a support pole and is partly provided to be movable in a horizontal direction; a coupling unit that is detachably mounted on a part of a tip of the arm unit; a rotation unit whose tip portion is coupled to the coupling unit so as to be ratable at a predetermined angle in a left-right direction; and a tilting unit that is coupled. to a tip portion of the rotation unit so as to be tiltable in a top-down direction and mediates coupling of an antenna device, wherein an angular motion adjuster is provided on at least any one of the rotation unit and the tilting unit so as to adjust a rotating angle, thereby removing spatial limitations on a plurality of antenna devices with respect to the support pole and improving workability.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a radio assembly. The radio assembly includes an antenna housing unit that houses a pair of reflectors which are situated on a front side of the antenna housing unit, a printed circuit board (PCB) that includes at least a transmitter and a receiver, and a backside cover. The PCB is situated within a cavity at a backside of the antenna housing unit and the backside cover covers the cavity, thereby enclosing the PCB within the antenna housing unit. One embodiment of the present invention provides a user interface for configuring a radio. The user interface includes a display and a number of selectable tabs presented on the display. A selection of a respective tab results in a number of user-editable fields being displayed, thereby facilitating a user in configuring and monitoring operations of the radio.

The invention relates to a mounting device for mounting a remote radio unit (2) to a base station antenna (1) and relates to a base station antenna system formed thereby. The mounting device includes a support base (6) configured to be mounted to the base station antenna and to support the remote radio unit; a support element configured to be mounted to the remote radio unit and movable together with the remote radio unit between a first position, in which the support element is lifted from the support base, and a second position, in which the support element is supported on the support base; a plug arrangement including a plug element and a socket element, one of which is configured to be mounted to the base station antenna, and the other of which is configured to be mounted to the remote radio unit, wherein in the first position, the plug element and the socket element are separated from each other, and in the second position, the plug element and the socket element are engaged with each other.

A remotely controllable antenna mount for use with a wireless telecommunication antenna provides mechanical azimuth and tilt adjustment using AISG compatible motor control units and AISG control and monitoring systems to remotely adjust the physical orientation of the antenna. The mount control units are serially interconnected with AISG antenna control units which adjust electronic tilt mechanisms within the antenna itself. An AISG compatible mount azimuth control unit drives rotatable movement of the antenna through a range of azimuth angle positions. The antenna mount further includes a mechanical downtilt assembly interconnected between the antenna interface and the antenna. An AISG compatible mount tilt control unit drives linear movement of an actuator assembly and corresponding pivoting of the antenna through a range of tilt angle positions.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, a communication device having a dielectric antenna, a radio housing, a hollow waveguide and an antenna stabilizer. The radio housing can enclose a transmitter that generates electromagnetic waves. The hollow waveguide can have a cavity therethrough to facilitate transmission of the electromagnetic waves to a feed point of the dielectric antenna for guidance of the electromagnetic waves without requiring an electrical return path, where the electromagnetic waves generate near-field wireless signals. The antenna stabilizer can facilitate coupling the hollow waveguide to the feed point of the dielectric antenna. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Mount assemblies that include clamps that can clamp directly to external threads of a respective adjuster bolt to lock the adjuster bolt in a desired orientation and/or position and provide for triangulated adjustment allowing for increased alignment precision. The mount assemblies can be particularly suitable for locking an aligned antenna into a desired azimuth position.
