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.

This application provides a wireless data terminal and a wireless data terminal control system. The wireless data terminal includes a housing, a drive assembly, a first antenna assembly, and a second antenna assembly. The drive assembly can drive the first antenna assembly and the second antenna assembly to extend or retract to move in different directions between a first location and a second location. When the wireless data terminal does not need to be used or high isolation between antennas is not required, the drive assembly may drive the antenna assembly to retract to the first location, so that a volume occupied by the wireless data terminal can be reduced while an antenna isolation requirement is met. When high isolation between the antennas is required, the drive assembly may drive the antenna assembly to extend to the second location, so that isolation between the antennas is increased.

The insert section may be adapted to couple with a pole coupling of a support member of a tower structure. The insert section may be adapted to fit into the housing of the head section, where the housing is adapted to receive the insert section. The insert section may fit into the housing of the head section to mechanically interlock the head section with the insert section to allow suspension of the antenna assembly from the support pole.

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 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.

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.

A street light allows an electronic device installed therein to work properly. The street light has an internal chimney structure for dissipating heat from the electronic device and preventing any liquid from flowing into a space where the electronic device is accommodated. This allows the street light to internally provide both a dry environment and a heat dissipation mechanism for the electronic device, without closing an internal space of the street light, so as to greatly improve the above undesirable structural drawbacks of the conventional street light.
