  • Antenna mounting apparatus and methods including claw fasteners and/or bayonet locking structures
    Patent number: 8059044
    Abstract: According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of apparatus and methods relating to mounting antenna components, modules, and assemblies, such as antenna modules or RF amplifier modules. In an exemplary embodiment, a fastener includes a clamping portion. An actuator is configured to convert a rotational force applied for rotating the fastener into a clamping force applied to the mounting surface generally between the at least one antenna component and the clamping portion of the fastener, to thereby mount the at least one antenna component to the mounting surface.

  • RF connector mounting means
    Patent number: 7909612
    Abstract: A mounting means (1) for RF connectors (6) to be connected to a substrate (20) comprises a base plate (2) having an upper surface (2a) and a lower surface (2b). The base plate exhibits electrically leading material at least on part of its surfaces. Ground pads (3) are provided on the upper surface (2a) of the base plate (2) and arranged for support and electrical contacting to the substrate. A plurality of through holes (4) for electrically isolated reception of inner conductors (5) of RF connectors. By means of this mounting means, quick, secure, and space-saving mounting of RF connectors is achieved.
