  • Patent number: 8188935
    Abstract: An improved antenna device has an internal length compensation device, permitting a varying length expansion of the housing/radome in relation to the antenna support or reflector device located within the housing/radome. At least one of at least two internal fixing devices is provided with the internal length compensation device. The internal length compensation device is in at least two parts or has two limbs, wherein one part is fixed to the antenna support and/or reflector device and the other part is at least indirectly fixed to the housing/radome and/or supported thereby. The at least two parts can be moved relative to each other, be moved in position or deformed. In particular with relation to the support points of both parts, the position may be changed with common deformation.

  • Patent number: 8164540
    Abstract: An improved antenna device is has an external length compensation device, permitting a differing length expansion of the housing/radome relative to at least one of the at least two external mounting devices for fixing the antenna device. At least one of the two mounting devices has an external length compensation device, which covers at least one mounting device and a guide device by means of which the housing/radome may be adjusted relative to the mounting device in one direction of the antenna housing/radome. At least for one path length and the external length compensation device with the guide device is designed such that even with fastened screws, play remains between a section of the housing/radome and a section of the mounting device in order to permit an unhindered compensation movement between the mounting device and the housing/radome.

  • Publication number: 20080036674
    Abstract: An improved antenna arrangement comprises at least a dipole-shaped radiator arrangement with the associated carrying device and/or balancing device and the associated dipole and/or radiator halves as well as the reflector or the part reflector or the reflector frame which are formed from a common part, and the material of this common part is electrically conductive or is provided with an electrically conductive surface or surface layer if it consists of a dielectric material.
