First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mounting flange for installation of a distributed antenna system (DAS) antenna module, the mounting flange comprising:
- a base extending within a horizontal plane from a center to an outer periphery, an aperture being disposed at the center of the base;
an inner cylindrical wall extending upwardly from the base at the aperture, the inner cylindrical wall comprising threads disposed about an inner surface thereof;
an outer grooved wall extending upwardly from the base, the outer grooved wall being disposed between the inner cylindrical wall and the periphery of the base, the outer grooved wall characterized with a plurality of grooved channels extending vertically from the base, the plurality of grooved channels forming a corrugated surface of the outer grooved wall, wherein said outer grooved wall is connected to the inner cylindrical wall via a plurality of ribs extending therebetween; and
a plurality of first through-holes disposed about one or more of the outer grooved wall and the base.
