Methods of antenna pointing and antenna assemblies implementing those methods are disclosed. An example method includes providing a user terminal antenna assembly including an antenna and an auto-peak device. The antenna includes a reflector, a subreflector, and a feed, the feed oriented relative to the reflector and the subreflector to produce a beam. The antenna further includes a tilt assembly to tilt the subreflector relative to the reflector and the feed. The method further includes providing a control signal to tilt the subreflector in a plurality of tilt positions to move the beam while measuring corresponding signal strength of a signal communicated via the antenna at each of the plurality of tilt positions. Additionally, the method includes selecting a tilt position from the plurality of tilt positions based on a measured signal strength, and providing the control signal to tilt the subreflector to the selected tilt position.

An antenna mounting assembly of a base station antenna includes: a pole clamp configured to clamp the pole; and a first pivoting arm and a second pivoting arm, a first end portion of the first pivoting arm being pivotally connected to a radome body of the antenna, a second end portion of the second pivoting arm being pivotally connected to the pole clamp, and an opposing second end portion of the first pivoting arm being pivotally connected to an opposing first end portion of the second pivoting arm through a pivoting portion. One of the second end portion of the first pivoting arm and the first end portion of the second pivoting arm is provided with a guide post, and the other is provided with a guide groove.

An antenna apparatus having a housing enclosing antenna components and a leg extending from the housing includes a base securable to a surface and configured to receive a bottom portion of the leg. A locking assembly defined at the bottom portion of the leg is moveable between a first position, wherein the leg is removable from the base, and a second position, wherein the leg is lockingly secured within the base.

An antenna assembly including an antenna reflector steering mechanism is disclosed. A reflector steering structure for adjusting the horizontal azimuth of a reflector includes a drive motor disposed on the rear surface of the reflector, a planet gear rotated by the drive motor, and a sectorial rack gear engaged with the planet gear and fixed to a support shaft, thereby achieving a compact design of an entire antenna structure. Further, by applying a structure with enhanced electrical insulation to rolling and slide contact portions of the drive unit and a portion undergoing change in contact pressure, radio performance of the antenna system may be prevented from changing according to steering of the reflector.

An antenna mounting structure is disclosed. According to an embodiment of the present invention, provided is an antenna mounting structure comprising: a parapet mount part; a parapet contact part vertically connected to one end of the parapet mount part; a mount extension part vertically connected to the other end of the parapet mount part, disposed parallel to the parapet contact part, and is connected and fixed to an inner surface of a parapet wall by means of a first connecting means; and an antenna coupling part adjacently disposed to the parapet contact part and configured to be coupled with an antenna.

A base station apparatus of an antenna-integrated type for use in a mobile communication network, includes an enclosure configured to have electric and electronic devices for processing signals in receipt and to form at least a part of an exterior of the base station, and an antenna configured to be installed so as to be tiltable on one surface of the enclosure, to have an outer contour defined by a radome, to include at least one radiating element for transmitting and receiving a radio signal, and an enclosure fixing device configured to fixedly mount the enclosure to an external support, and an antenna fixing apparatus configured to fixedly install the antenna on the enclosure so that the antenna is adjustably tilted with respect to the enclosure.

The disclosure relates to an antenna system [1] comprising a mast [7], in turn comprising a base section [2b] and an extendable section [a], and an antenna [6]. The antenna [6] is arranged to be rotatable and the extendable section [2a] comprises a plurality of telescopic sections [8] whereby the extendable section [2a] may adopt a retracted configuration and a deployed configuration. The mast [7] is foldable in relation to a platform [5] in a vertical plane [PLxy] essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the extendable section [LD-es] and to the longitudinal direction of the base section [LD-bs] by means of a first pivot joint [9]. According to the disclosure the antenna system [1] may be arranged to the platform [5], wherein the platform [5] may be in form of a vehicle [5-v], whereby an antenna arrangement [101] is formed. The disclosure further relates to methods of avoiding oscillations for an antenna system [1] and/or an antenna arrangement [101], and to a method of undeploying an antenna arrangement [101].

A bracket includes a first member having one end joined to a first surface of an enclosure including an antenna, a second member having one end joined to a second surface of the enclosure, and a third member including a first slot joined to another end of the first member and a second slot joined to another end of the second member. In the bracket, the another end of the first member is guided along and moved in the first slot, and the another end of the second member is guided along and moved in the second slot.

The present technique provides an antenna apparatus and a method of operating an antenna apparatus comprising a first antenna array and a second antenna array. Antenna positioning circuitry is used to move the first antenna array relative to the second antenna array about a common axis of rotation to facilitate positioning of the first and second antenna arrays in a chosen deployment configuration between a first limit and a second limit. Antenna array control circuitry is used to coordinate operation of the first antenna array and the second antenna array dependent on the chosen deployment configuration.

Examples described herein relate to flexible antenna belts. For instance, a system may comprise a flexible antenna belt, where the flexible antenna belt is to transition between a closed position and an open position, and a flexible display coupled to the flexible antenna belt.
