Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of antenna systems, and in particular to a compact system comprising an antenna and its mounting device on a support.
  • LTE Long Term Evolution
  • the traditional frequency bands mainly the 10-40 GHz range
  • the increasing density of users in urban networks increases the need for small cells allowing antennas to be directly installed in the zones. city life.
  • antennas with low form factors operating at high radio frequencies which allow easier installation and better objective and subjective discretion, have become unavoidable.
  • the current radio link systems generally consist of an emission antenna (which can be of various technical types such as parabola, shell, panel, horn, ...), which is supported by a support fixed on a structure of type tower or mast, and a radio box that is often mounted directly to the back of the antenna and therefore which is also supported by the antenna support.
  • Telecom networks deployed in an urban environment require the rapid installation of radio link solutions to reduce the time needed to deploy the network.
  • Antenna systems are usually equipped with a mounting device for mounting on a support and adjusting the antenna.
  • This device is composed of several pieces.
  • Most often the installation process can not be carried out by one person, and the assembly and installation of such an antenna system is relatively long because of the large number of parts to be handled by the users. installers.
  • the total number of different parts that are required is often very important, which increases the risk of falling antenna during installation and maintenance operations.
  • these seemingly simple mechanical operations become much more complex when they have to be carried out in exposed places or places situated in height.
  • the angular range of adjustment of the antenna is limited because of the many bolts necessary for fixing all the parts together and on the support.
  • An antenna system is thus proposed, the installation of which on a support is simplified, in order to reduce the fixing and setting time of the antenna. In particular, it improves the accuracy of the assembly of the various parts of the antenna system, its fixing on the support and adjusting the variable angle of the antenna.
  • the joining of the first contact face and the second contact face forms a guide rail.
  • the antenna system further comprises an interface means, allowing a rotary junction between the first module and the second module.
  • the proposed solution is an interface means allowing rapid release of the two movable assemblies relative to each other, belonging to an antenna system.
  • the angular adjustment of the antenna system is performed when the interface means is in the locked position.
  • the interface means comprises at least one sleeve capable of sliding along the guide rail, to ensure the connection between the first module and the second module.
  • the guide rail has a thinned portion at the base and a bulged portion at the top, and the sleeve is inverted U-shaped whose ends are in the form of reentrant hooks.
  • the sliding sleeve comprises an orifice for the passage of a clamping screw.
  • a plurality of sliding sleeves are carried by a common part.
  • the interface means comprises an annular collar slidable along the guide rail for connecting the first module and the second module.
  • the guide rail has a thinned portion at the base and a bulged portion at the top, and the annular collar has a concave profile adapted to the guide rail whose ends are shaped hooks outgoing.
  • the annular collar comprises a locking means comprising a clamping screw.
  • a centering finger makes it possible to ensure the positioning of the first module relative to the second module.
  • the proposed solution is a compact antenna system that provides all the expected functions: transmission and reception of radio waves for antenna operation, fine tuning of the antenna in the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical planes (tilt), and fixing the antenna system on a support.
  • the general shape of the antenna system is a visually pleasing solution which has several advantages.
  • This antenna system also facilitates assembly and adjustment because it has many fewer parts.
  • the design offers great flexibility in terms of mounting option, in particular it can be installed on any medium, including cylindrical or plane, allowing to adapt the antenna system to all environments.
  • This antenna system has the advantage of reducing the number of attachment points, such as bolts, which are necessary to assemble the different parts. of the antenna system and for fixing the antenna system to the support. The strength of the assembly of parts between them is reinforced. The fixing time of the antenna system, antenna configuration and network deployment is significantly reduced.
  • This antenna system finally offers great flexibility in terms of mounting option, in particular it can be installed on any support, including cylindrical or flat, through the use of a versatile profile.
  • the simplicity and robustness of the antenna system allows for high rotational mobility and does not cause resistance when adjusting the alignment of the antenna. Adjusting the position of the antenna system can be done through the use of conventional tools such as an Allen key for example.
  • This antenna system is equally applicable to antennas having an at least partially paraboloidal reflector as to so-called panel type antennas.

  • a radome 6 Specific frequency is used instead of just the cover material 8a, 8b only.
  • the antenna 5 is here represented in the form of a rectangular block that suggests a network antenna, but one could equally well use a reflector dish of the parabola or offset type, or even a simple direct feed antenna such as an antenna cornet to place in the module.
  • the rear part 8a and the front part 8b of the cover of the first RF module 2 are assembled and secured by means of stops or valves 9.
