  • Planar antenna clamp system
    Patent number: 11398666
    Abstract: A planar antenna clamp system comprising: a base; a connector mounted to the base; a clamp arm mounted to the base such that, when in an open configuration, an air gap exists between the top surface of the base and the bottom surface of the clamp arm's distal end, and wherein the clamp arm and the base are oriented with respect to one another such that conductors of a planar antenna may be positioned in the air gap when in the open configuration; a matching circuit disposed on the top surface of the base and electrically connected to the connector; and a clamp configured to compress the conductors of the planar antenna between the top surface of the base and the bottom surface of the clamp arm such that the conductors of the planar antenna are operatively coupled with the matching circuit, when in a closed configuration.
