Abstract
A rotatable antenna mount assembly for coupling an antenna reflector to a support structure. The antenna mount including a rotatable connection provided with a generally planar outer surface; the rotatable connection coupled directly to the antenna reflector. An antenna mount having a reflector connection plane; the antenna mount coupled to the support structure. The rotatable connection coupled to the antenna mount, the outer surface parallel to the reflector connection plane, the rotatable connection, and thereby the antenna reflector rotatable about a rotation axis normal to the reflector connection plane.

A rotatable antenna mount assembly for coupling an antenna reflector to a support structure, comprising:
- a rotatable connection provided with a generally planar outer surface;
- the rotatable connection coupled directly to the antenna reflector;
- an antenna mount having a reflector connection plane;
- the antenna mount coupled to the support structure;
- the rotatable connection coupled to the antenna mount, the outer surface parallel to the reflector connection plane, the rotatable connection, and thereby the antenna reflector rotatable about a rotation axis normal to the reflector connection plane.
A method for assembly of a segmented reflector antenna, including the steps of:
- coupling a central segment upon an antenna mount;
- attaching a peripheral segment to a bottom portion of the central segment;
- rotating the central segment to present a bottom portion of the central segment without a peripheral segment, and attaching a peripheral segment to the bottom portion.
A rotatable antenna mount assembly for coupling an antenna reflector to a support structure, comprising:
- a disc with a generally planar outer surface, an inner diameter and an outer diameter;
- the disc coupled to the antenna reflector;
- an antenna mount having a reflector connection plane;
- the antenna mount coupled to the support structure;
- a plurality of retaining rollers rotatably coupled to the antenna mount;
- the disc hung upon the retaining rollers along the inner diameter, parallel to the reflector connection plane, and thereby the antenna reflector, rotatable about a rotation axis normal to the reflector connection plane.
