  • Patent number: 9793602
    Abstract: Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of multiband MIMO vehicular antenna assemblies. In an exemplary embodiment, a multiband MIMO vehicular antenna assembly generally includes a chassis and an outer cover or radome. The outer cover is coupled to the chassis such that an interior enclosure is collectively defined by the outer cover and the chassis. An antenna carrier or inner radome is within the interior enclosure. The antenna carrier has inner and outer surfaces spaced apart from the chassis and the outer cover. One or more antenna elements are along and/or in conformance with the outer surface of the antenna carrier so as to generally follow the contour of a corresponding portion of the antenna carrier.

  • 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.
