  • Patent number: 6188372
    Abstract: An antenna and mounting assembly permitting azimuth adjustment of antenna elevation and rotation of the antenna about a polarity axis includes a molded antenna having an integrally molded polarity plate formed on its back side. The polarity plate has a back planar surface perpendicular to the polarity axis and is configured to receive a mounting bracket. A suitable mounting bracket has a polarity portion and an elevation portion generally separated by a boundary line and being substantially perpendicular to each other. The polarity portion has a polarity slot in it and the elevation portion has an elevation mounting hole and an arcuate elevation slot lying along a circle having a center substantially corresponding to the position of the elevation hole. A first mounting member engages the mounting hole and polarity slot to secure the bracket to the polarity plate.
