An attachment assembly, useful in quickly attaching an object to a panel, is provided with a base assembly having a shaft member extending therefrom and an expandable member having a plurality of fingers disposed on one side of the panel such that, during installation, the fingers radially outwardly expand to clamp the object to the panel. A process of mounting an object to a panel is also provided. The object is attached to the base of the attachment assembly and the shaft member is positioned in an aperture in a panel. The panel is clamped between the fingers and the base upon installation of the attachment assembly.

Quick-attach automotive antenna mounting assembly

An attachment assembly provides quick attachment of an automotive antenna unit or other object to the exterior of a vehicle. A single worker is able to install the antenna unit or other object with one downward push from the exterior without the need for tools. The attachment assembly also includes an anti-rotation feature to prevent rotation. The attachment assembly can only be removed from the interior, rendering the attachment assembly tamper resistant from the exterior. The attachment assembly can also be mounted on vehicles with various panel thicknesses.

Quick-attach, single-sided automotive antenna attachment assembly

A microwave antenna and receiver assembly is described for use at gigaherz frequencies wherein the antenna is a microstrip antenna and the receiver includes a stripline filter circuit which is integrated in a layered configuration with both the microstrip antenna and the amplifier so as to achieve a very low noise figure, a low SWR and preserve good receiver characteristics, while being easily assembled inside a common radome housing. An inexpensive substrate material formed of alternating layers of polypropylene and woven glass is described for use with the microstrip antenna and other microwave structures.
