Abstract
Abstract An antenna mounting system, including a base plate having a rear coaxial connector to which a coaxial cable is permanently attached. The base plate is permanently attached to the exterior of the mounting surface with the coaxial connector extending inwardly thru a hole in the mounting surface. An antenna mounting plate or a test probe fits onto the base plate. The antenna or test probe is secured to the base plate by bolts, thereby allowing for the rapid removal of the antenna and replacement thereof by the test probe.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
An antenna mounting system, comprising: a first mounting plate; a second mounting plate; mechanical means for mechanically connecting said first mounting plate to said second mounting plate; electrical means for making an electrical connection between said first mounting plate and said second mounting plate; and said mechanical connecting means being mechanically isolated from said electrical means; said electrical means comprising a cylindrical boss extending outward from and being a rigidly attached, integral extension of said second mounting plate having a female coaxial connector centrally located therein and being mated with a male coaxial connector centrally located in a cavity in said first mounting plate thereby forming an electrical coaxial connection between said first mounting plate and said second mounting plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
120 words
An antenna mounting system, comprising: a first mounting plate; a second mounting plate; mechanical means for mechanically connecting said first mounting plate to said second mounting plate; electrical means for making an electrical connection between said first mounting plate and said second mounting plate; and said mechanical connecting means being mechanically isolated from said electrical means; said electrical means comprising a cylindrical boss extending outward from and being a rigidly attached, integral extension of said second mounting plate having a female coaxial connector centrally located therein and being mated with a male coaxial connector centrally located in a cavity in said first mounting plate thereby forming an electrical coaxial connection between said first mounting plate and said second mounting plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
An antenna mounting system according to claim 1 wherein said first mounting plate is an antenna mounting plate; and said second mounting plate is a base plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
An antenna mounting system according to claim 1 wherein said first mounting plate is a base plate; and said second mounting plate is an antenna mounting plate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
An antenna mounting system according to claim 1 wherein said first mounting plate is a test probe plate; and said second mounting plate is a base plate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
An antenna mounting system according to claim 1 wherein said first mounting plate is a base plate; and said second mounting plate is a test probe plate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
An antenna mounting system according to claim 1 wherein said male coaxial connector extends outwardly a sightly greater distance than the depth of said female coaxial connector.
