Abstract
The present disclosure describes an antenna mount. The antenna mount includes a clamp section including one or more clamping members, the one or more clamping members configured to engage a mounting structure, at least one adjustable plate pivotably coupled to at least one of the one or more clamping members, and an azimuth adjustment mechanism coupled to the at least one of the clamping members and the at least one adjustable plate. Through rotation of the azimuth adjustment mechanism, the at least one adjustable plate is configured to linearly move relative to the one or more clamping members to adjust an azimuth alignment of an antenna coupled thereto. Related antenna assemblies are also described herein.
Claims20
An antenna mount, the antenna mount comprising:
- a clamp section comprising one or more clamping members, the one or more clamping members configured to engage a mounting structure;
- at least one adjustable plate pivotably coupled to at least one clamping member of the one or more clamping members;
- and
- an azimuth adjustment mechanism coupled to the one or more the clamping members and the at least one adjustable plate,
- wherein, through rotation of the azimuth adjustment mechanism, the at least one adjustable plate is configured to linearly move relative to the one or more clamping members to adjust an azimuth alignment of an antenna coupled thereto.
An antenna mount, the antenna mount comprising:
- a clamp section comprising a pair of clamping members, the clamping members configured to engage a mounting structure;
- a pair of adjustable plates pivotably coupled to one of the clamping members;
- and
- an azimuth adjustment mechanism coupled to one of the clamping members and the pair of adjustable plates, the azimuth adjustment mechanism comprising:
- a first threaded section coupled to a second threaded section, the first threaded section having a right-hand thread and the second threaded section having a left hand thread;
- a first boss member coupled to the clamping member;
- and
- a second boss member coupled to the pair of adjustable plates,
- wherein the first threaded section extends through an aperture in the first boss member and the second threaded section extends through an aperture in the second boss member,
- wherein the azimuth adjustment mechanism is configured such that as the first or second threaded section is rotated, the first and second boss members move toward each other or away from each other which cause the pair of adjustable plates to linearly move relative to the clamping member to adjust an azimuth alignment of an antenna coupled thereto.
An antenna mount assembly, the antenna mount assembly comprising:
- a mounting structure;
- an antenna having a main reflector;
- and
- an antenna mount configured to secure the antenna to the mounting structure, the antenna mount comprising:
- a clamp section comprising a pair of clamping members, the clamping members configured to engage a mounting structure;
- a pair of adjustable plates pivotably coupled to one of the clamping members;
- and
- an azimuth adjustment mechanism coupled to one of the clamping members and the pair of adjustable plates,
- wherein, through rotation of the azimuth adjustment mechanism, the pair of adjustable plates are configured to linearly move relative to the clamping member to adjust an azimuth alignment of the antenna.
