  • Publication number: 20160312943
    Abstract: A satellite antenna module includes a mount, a supporting frame disposed on the mount, and a satellite disk disposed on the supporting frame. The mount includes a base, a first adjusting mechanism, a first pressing member, a second adjusting mechanism, and a second pressing member. The first and second adjusting mechanisms are oppositely disposed on the base. The first and second pressing members are disposed on the first and second adjusting mechanisms respectively. When the base is placed on an edge portion of a structural object, the first and second adjusting mechanisms can be individually operated to move the first and second pressing members toward each other to clamp the edge portion. Thereby, the mount can be easily attached onto edge portions with various geometric profiles.
