- the rear walls of the inner housing 110 and the outer housing 100 are largely complementary, such that there is no space between the inner housing 110 and the outer housing 100 proximate the viewing window, or the space defined between the inner housing 110 and the outer housing 100 proximate the viewing area is only minimal.
- seals 144 are positioned inside the roof mounted module 94 and abut the base plate 120, the interior wall 410, and the downwardly extending walls 412, 414 of the imager module 200.
- the imager 200 is operably coupled with a vertically-oriented plug 272.
- a roof mounted module 96 includes a single interior cavity that supports both the exterior module electronics 300, as well as the imager module 200.
- the top portion of the imager module 200 is in abutting contact or close proximity to the outer housing 100. Accordingly, the rearward space 116 has been eliminated, resulting in a minimal space or no space between the inner housing 110 and the outer housing 100 proximate the viewing window.
- Access to the exterior module electronics 300 also allows for access to the components of the imager module 200.
- the roof mounted antenna and imager module concepts are generally configured to provide a versatile system that allows for different antenna components and housings to be paired with different imager components and housings.
- This configuration enables an automotive manufacturer the ability to offer different imager and/or antenna options or packages utilizing the same basic housings. Accordingly, uniformity across various product offerings can be maintained. For example, the automotive manufacturer can pair "premium,” “standard,” and “base” model vehicles with corresponding "premium,” “standard,” and “base” roof mounted modules, such as those described above.
- the facility can receive a single imager housing that includes hardware and software to support any of a variety of imager/antenna combinations and inner/outer housing combinations such that any number of interchangeable roof mounted modules can be provided to the consumer.
