A remotely controllable antenna mount (100) for use with a wireless telecommunication antenna (102) provides mechanical azimuth and tilt adjustment using AISG compatible motor control units (171/192) 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 (ACUs) (104) which adjust electronic tilt mechanisms within the antenna itself. An AISG compatible mount azimuth control unit (MACU) (171) 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 (MTCU) (192) drives a linear actuator for physical downtilt of the antenna through a range of tilt angle positions.

The present disclosure relates to an antenna mounting device for antenna assembly, where the antenna assembly comprises a base station antenna that extends longitudinally and a remote radio unit. The antenna mounting device comprises a first mounting unit, a second mounting unit and an optional third mounting unit. The first mounting unit is configured to pivotally connect a remote radio unit to a foundational component and provide the antenna assembly with a pivot point relative to the foundational component. The second mounting unit is configured to connect the base station antenna to a foundational component in the longitudinal extension direction of the base station antenna, below the first mounting unit and at a distance from the first mounting unit. The second mounting unit has an adjustable effective connection length between the base station antenna and foundational component, where the effective connection length determines the mechanical tilt angle of the antenna assembly. The present disclosure further comprises an antenna system of the antenna mounting device.

Provided is an antenna device capable of ensuring an installation space for components related to an antenna and eliminating a dead zone of a signal transmitted or received by the antenna by tilting an antenna unit. To this end, the antenna device according to the present invention includes a pole, an antenna unit, a lower link unit configured to couple a lower portion of the antenna unit to the pole so that the lower portion of the antenna unit is rotatable in an upward/downward direction, and a tilt drive unit configured to couple an upper portion of the antenna unit to the pole and tilt the upper portion of the antenna unit by rotating the upper portion of the antenna unit about a rotation center of the lower link unit, in which the tilt drive unit includes a tilt motor, a worm gear configured to be rotated by driving power of the tilt motor, a first tilt arm coupled to the antenna unit, a second tilt arm coupled to the pole, a first worm wheel configured to rotate the first tilt arm by being rotated by a rotation of the worm gear, and a second worm wheel configured to rotate the second tilt arm by being rotated by a rotation of the worm gear.

A remotely controllable antenna mount for use with a wireless telecommunication antenna provides both mechanical azimuth and mechanical 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 existing AISG antenna control units (ACU's) which adjust internal electronic tilt of the antenna. The present solution provides the ability to both physically aim the antenna to adjust coverage area and also adjust the signal phase to fine tune the quality of the signal.

An electronic device may include a housing, an antenna radiator disposed within the housing, a transceiver to connect to the antenna radiator, and a magnet disposed on the antenna radiator. When the magnet is aligned with a magnetic element of an input pen, the magnet may cause the antenna radiator to move proximate to a metal structure of the input pen such that the metal structure and the antenna radiator form an extended antenna.
