    摘要: An antenna arrangement having a stacked layered structure. The antenna arrangement includes a radiation layer including one or more radiation elements, and a distribution layer facing the radiation layer. The distribution layer is arranged to distribute a radio frequency signal to the one or more radiation elements. The distribution layer includes at least one distribution layer feed and a first electromagnetic bandgap, EBG, structure arranged to form at least one first waveguide intermediate the distribution layer and the radiation layer. The first EBG structure is also arranged to prevent electromagnetic propagation in a frequency band of operation from propagating from the at least one first waveguide in directions other than through the at least one distribution layer feed and the one or more radiation elements. The distribution layer includes a plurality of distribution modules and a positioning structure, the positioning structure is arranged to fix the distribution modules in position.

    摘要: An antenna module installation system comprising a baseplate and a carrier chassis. The baseplate is configured to couple to an antenna dish assembly, and comprises an antenna module mounting apparatus including an alignment portion and a retention portion. The carrier chassis is configured to retain an antenna module, such as antenna hub amplifier, and comprises an engaging apparatus. The carrier chassis is configured to allow multiple manufacturers versions of a component to be used through adapter components. The engaging apparatus is configured to engage with the alignment portion, which positions the carrier chassis in a mounting alignment, and to move from the alignment portion to the retention portion which retains the carrier chassis in engagement with the baseplate. The engaging apparatus is designed to allow that direct connections to the component in the carrier chassis are disconnected prior to its removal.
