An antenna device includes a substrate, a chip, and an antenna. The chip is disposed on the substrate, and the chip has at least two pads. The antenna is disposed on the substrate, and the chip is disposed between the substrate and the antenna. The antenna has a first bonding line segment and a second bonding line segment electrically connected to the at least two pads respectively. The first bonding line segment is located at an outermost coil of the antenna, and is disposed across a short side direction of the chip in a manner of completely covering one of the at least two pads. The second bonding line segment is located at an innermost coil of the antenna, and is disposed across the short side direction of the chip in a manner of completely covering another of the at least two pads.

A system may be provided that may include an end of vehicle device, and an antenna coupled to an exterior of the end of vehicle device. The antenna may be configured to communicate signals to or from the end of vehicle device, and may include a conductive member configured to communicate the signals to or from the end of vehicle device, and a flexible support member disposed within the conductive member and configured to receive, absorb, and displace force from the conductive member.

An antenna comprises a main reflector, a waveguide, wherein at least part of the waveguide protrudes towards a region external to the antenna, wherein the antenna is operative to transmit electromagnetic radiations between the waveguide and the main reflector, a mechanism which enables displacement of at least part of the waveguide with respect to the main reflector, and an actuator operative to displace the at least part of the waveguide.

Various base station enclosures and systems are detailed herein. Such systems can include, a radio unit (RU) and a plurality of cellular antennas. A base station cellular enclosure is present that reduces wind drag. The enclosure can include an airfoil enclosure housing that defines a cavity for housing the plurality of antennas and is at least partially covered in dimples to reduce wind drag.

A mount for an antenna includes: a plurality of horizontal members; and a plurality of vertical members interconnected with the horizontal members, the vertical members configured and arranged for mounting of at least one antenna. At least one of the horizontal members and/or the vertical members has a cross-section that reduces drag under wind load.

A radome for an antenna is provided as a composite of an isotropic outer layer and a structural layer of foamed polymer material. The composite is dimensioned to enclose an open end of the antenna. The radome may be retained upon the antenna by a retaining element and fasteners. The outer layer may be a polymer material with a water resistant characteristic. The structural layer may project inward and/or outward with respect to a plane of the seating surface of the radome.

An apparatus for reducing the wind resistance of an antenna is provided. The apparatus includes a radome, an upper end cap and a lower end cap disposed on the upper and lower ends of the radome. The radome includes a windward surface, and at least one of the upper end cap or the lower end cap includes a bottom edge and a front contour surface. The front contour surface is formed by extending and bending from a portion of the bottom edge close to the windward surface in a longitudinal direction toward the center of the upper end cap or the lower end cap.

A mount for an antenna includes: a plurality of horizontal members; and a plurality of vertical members interconnected with the horizontal members, the vertical members configured and arranged for mounting of at least one antenna. At least one of the horizontal members and/or the vertical members has a cross-section that reduces drag under wind load.

The present invention relates to a clamping apparatus for an antenna, the clamping apparatus including a rotation unit configured to rotate an antenna in a horizontal direction, a tilting unit configured to rotate the antenna in a vertical direction, and a rotation/vibration prevention unit configured to adjust a direction of the antenna by rotating at least one of the rotation unit and the tilting unit and prevent the antenna from arbitrarily rotating after the direction of the antenna is adjusted, in which the rotation/vibration prevention unit includes a rotation motor, a worm gear configured to be rotated by the rotation motor, a shaft configured to define at least one rotation center, and a worm wheel gear installed on an outer peripheral surface of the shaft and configured to rotate at least one of the rotation unit and the tilting unit while being rotated by the worm gear, thereby easily adjusting the direction of the antenna by controlling the rotation motor and preventing the antenna with the adjusted direction from arbitrarily rotating.

A stealth pole includes a plurality of canister sections, each of the plurality of canister sections including a spine, a first splice plate located on a first end of the spine, a second splice plate located on a second end of the spine, and a canister cover that covers the spine, the first splice plate and the second splice plate. A method for reinforcing the stealth pole includes removing the canister cover from at least one of the plurality of canister sections; attaching a plurality of stiffener members to the first splice plate and the second splice plate; and applying tension, compression or a combination thereof to the plurality of stiffener members. The plurality of stiffener members reinforce the spine of the canister section. A reinforced stealth pole is also described.
