  • Patent number: 6404400
    Abstract: A reflector-type microwave antenna having a paraboloidal reflector having a focal point and a feed horn located at the focal point. The feed horn is adapted to launch microwave signals onto the reflector and to receive microwave reflectors from the reflector. The reflector is mounted onto a surface by a mounting assembly comprising a mounting pipe in a fixed location relative to the mounting surface, a mounting cylinder rotatably affixed to the mounting pipe, and a mounting collar affixed to the mounting cylinder. A mounting plate is affixed to both the mounting collar and to the reflector such that a movement of the mounting collar causes the reflector to move, as well. The mounting assembly also has an azimuth coarse adjuster which engages the mounting cylinder such that the mounting cylinder may be rotated in azimuth relative to the mounting pipe. Once the mounting cylinder is in position, a locking mechanism is utilized to lock the mounting cylinder in position.
