Abstract
A radio frequency sensor module adapted for mounting a vehicle exhaust system structure. A bracket on the module includes a first mounting ear defining a first through aperture. A printed circuit board is coupled to the bracket. A cover defines an opening and an interior cavity in communication with the opening. The bracket and the cover are coupled together in a relationship with the printed circuit board extending through the opening in the cover and into the interior cavity of the cover and the first and second mounting ears in an abutting and overlying relationship. A mounting bolt extends through the respective first and second through apertures in the respective first and second mounting ears for securing the radio frequency module to the housing of a vehicle exhaust system.

A radio frequency sensor module comprising:
- a bracket including a first mounting ear defining a first through aperture;
- a printed circuit board coupled to the bracket;
- a cover defining an opening and an interior cavity in communication with the opening, the bracket and the cover being coupled together by the printed circuit board and extending through the opening in the cover and into the interior cavity of the cover and the first and second mounting ears, the first mounting ear in a position abutting against and overlying with the second mounting ear;
- and
- a mounting bolt extending through respective first and second through apertures in the respective first and second mounting ears for securing the radio frequency module to the housing of a vehicle exhaust system.
A radio frequency sensor module comprising:
- a bracket including a pair of arms and a first pair of mounting ears each defining a first through aperture;
- a printed circuit board, the pair of arms mounting the printed circuit board to the bracket;
- a cover defining an interior cavity and including a second pair of mounting ears each defining a second through aperture, the cover and the bracket being coupled together by the printed circuit board extending into the interior cavity of the cover and the respective first and second pairs of mounting ears coupled together in an abutting and overlying relationship and the respective first and second through apertures in a co-linear relationship;
- and
- a pair of mounting bolts extending through the respective first and second through apertures of the respective first and second pairs of mounting ears coupled together for mounting the radio frequency sensor module to the housing of a vehicle exhaust system.
