Position Adjuster for Millimeter Wave Antenna

摘要

An adjustor configured to position an antenna coupled to a mounting element includes an adjustor nut having a bore extending along a longitudinal axis of the adjustor nut. At least a portion of the bore has inner threads configured to engage corresponding threads on a first portion of the mounting element positioned within the bore. A tool interface is positioned near a proximal end region of the adjustor nut and an external fastening mechanism positioned near a distal end region of the adjustor nut. A preload nut configured to engage the external fastening mechanism and configured to apply a load onto a second portion of the mounting element is positioned between a portion of the adjustor nut and the preload nut. Rotation of the adjustor nut around the longitudinal axis causes movement of the first portion along the longitudinal axis while the load is applied onto the second portion.

1. An adjustor configured to position an antenna coupled to a mounting element, the adjustor comprising:
an adjustor nut comprising a bore extending along a longitudinal axis of the adjustor nut from a distal end region to a proximal end region of the adjustor nut, at least a portion of the bore having inner threads configured to engage corresponding threads on a first portion of the mounting element positioned within the bore; a tool interface positioned near the proximal end region of the adjustor nut; an external fastening mechanism positioned near the distal end region of the adjustor nut; and a preload nut configured to engage the external fastening mechanism and configured to apply a load onto a second portion of the mounting element positioned between a portion of the adjustor nut and the preload nut, wherein rotation of the adjustor nut around the longitudinal axis causes movement of the first portion of the mounting element along the longitudinal axis while the load is applied onto the second portion of the mounting element.
