Antenna mounting system

摘要

An antenna mounting system includes a first mount having a positioning portion adapted to extend through an opening in a vehicle panel to position and hold the first mount relative to the vehicle panel, a second mount adapted to be disposed adjacent the opposite surface of the vehicle panel, and a connector adapted to couple the first and second mounts to each other. A conductive plate associated with one of the mounts forms a capacitive coupling with the vehicle panel and in conjunction with an inductor or resistor provides a selected resistance to ground. A connector screw in the system has a weakened section which during installation will break should excessive forces be applied thereto, thus to protect other components in the system.
