Abstract
Abstract An antenna mount includes a mounting plate which holds an antenna such as a microwave horn. The mounting plate is connected by a hinge to a baseplate. The angle of the mounting plate with respect to the baseplate is controlled by an adjustable brace extending between the antenna mounting plate and a bracket, allowing adjustment of elevation. The baseplate is pivotally mounted on a mechanical ground allowing independent adjustment of azimuth.
