Abstract

The present invention relates to an antenna array platform comprising at least one bottom plate, at least one magnet preferably located on the bottom side of the bottom plate, which provides the bottom plate to be attached to suitable platforms made of a material that can be attracted by magnetic field force without the need for any mechanical adaptations, at least one box located on the bottom plate, at least one lid covering the upper part of the box, a number of antenna slots equal to the number of antennas to be used, made in the lid, at least one plate that provides support so that the box stays at a required position, at least one screw positioned on at least one side of the plate and entering the angling hole that corresponds to the required angle, providing the plate stays fixed.

Claims

1. An antenna array platform, comprising:

at least one bottom plate,

at least one box located on the bottom plate,

at least one lid covering an upper part of the box,

angling holes made in a side of the box so that they correspond to certain angle values,

at least one plate that provides support so that the box stays at a required position,

at least one screw entering the angling hole positioned on at least one side of the plate and that corresponds to the required angle, providing the plate stays fixed,

a plurality of antenna openings made in the lid, wherein the number of antenna openings are equal to the number of antennas to be used in the antenna array platform, wherein a distance between every two antenna openings is different, and a distance between two adjacent antenna openings is longer than half of a wavelength of the antennas;

wherein angling holes are provided in the side of the box between 0 degrees to 45 degrees with 5 degree intervals, provided that the horizontal of the antenna is assumed 0 degree.

2. The antenna array platform as in claim 1, wherein at least one magnet located on the bottom side of the bottom plate, wherein the at least one magnet provides the bottom plate to be attached to suitable platforms made of a material that can be attracted by magnetic field force without the need for any mechanical adaptations.

3. The antenna array platform as in claim 1, wherein a screw with a mace head is provided on one side of the plate.
