An enclosure system for antennas including satellite dish antennas and single frequency, narrowband and broadband ones. The system includes at least upper and lower housing portions mounted to each other for rotational movement about a first axis inclined to the vertical. The portions have respective, peripheral sections extending about the first axis and substantially perpendicular to the inclined, first axis. The satellite antenna dish is mounted to the upper housing portion to extend substantially about a second axis substantially intersecting the first axis at an inclined angle. The upper housing portion can be rotated about the inclined, first axis relative to the lower housing portion wherein the second axis of the dish essentially forms or defines a cone about the first axis to position the plane of the dish rim portion in any of a plurality of orientations essentially between a substantially horizontal one and a substantially vertical one.
An enclosure system for a satellite antenna arrangement having a dish-shaped reflector, said enclosure system having at least upper and lower housing portions, said upper housing portion being mounted to the lower housing portion for rotational movement relative to the lower housing portion about a first axis inclined to the vertical, said upper and lower housing portions having respective sections extending substantially about said first axis and substantially abutting one another about the first axis in an operating position, said abutting sections in said operating position extending substantially parallel to a common plane,
An enclosure system for an antenna, said enclosure system having at least upper and lower housing portions with the upper housing portion being mounted to the lower housing portion for rotational movement relative thereto about a first axis inclined to the vertical, said upper and lower housing portions having respective sections extending substantially about the first axis and substantially abutting one another about the first axis in an operating position, said sections in said operating position extending substantially parallel to a common, first plane, said antenna being mounted to said upper housing portion to move therewith wherein the upper housing portion can be rotated about said first axis to substantially form a cone with a second axis substantially intersecting and inclined to said first axis to selectively position a second plane substantially perpendicular to said second axis in a plurality of orientations.
