Patent number: 10839985Abstract: The invention provides an integrated output line and an antenna system using the same. The integrated output line includes a jacket, a power supply line, and a signal output line. The power supply line and the signal output line are disposed through the jacket. The power supply line and the signal output line are combined and output through the jacket. Thus, the generation of gaps between the two lines caused by the two lines in separate wiring is avoided, thereby the water resistance is improved and the installation of the lines after combination becomes easier, which is time-saving and labor-saving. The antenna system using the integrated output line further includes an antenna, an antenna amplifier, and a power source module. The antenna, the antenna amplifier, and the signal output line are connected in sequence. The antenna amplifier, the power source module, and the power supply line are connected in sequence.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: SHENZHEN ANTOP TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventor: Ruidian Yang
