Antenna device for mobile communication system
First Claim
1. An antenna device for a mobile communication system, comprising:
- a post having an external body with a selected external appearance;
an antenna end formed at an upper portion of the post, the antenna end formed of a material that transmits and receives radio signals and configured for installation and housing of antenna parts;
a support end formed at a lower portion of the post, the support end configured for fixing the antenna device onto the ground;
a lighting module carried by the post for illuminating a surrounding area;
a camera module carried within the post for capturing images of the surrounding area; and
a control module for providing overall control to operations of the antenna device, the control module including;
an interface configured to communicate with an external entity and to receive external commercial power;
a power supply configured to distribute the power received through the interface as operation power for the antenna device including operation power for the camera module and the lighting module;
a signal processor configured to process signals transmitted and received between the interface and antenna elements; and
a controller configured to provide overall control to operations of the antenna device including operations of the camera module and the lighting module.

Abstract
An antenna device for a mobile communication system is provided, in which a post has a selected external appearance. An antenna end is formed at an upper portion of the post for installing antenna parts, and a support end is formed at a lower portion of the post for fixing the antenna device to the ground. At least part of an external body of the antenna end is formed of a material that transmits transmission and received radio signals and a ground support member is formed under the support end to make an external body of the support end stand erect on the ground. The external appearance of the antenna device may take the form of a conventional utility, lamp, or sign post or pole.
