An antenna assembly for emitting a signal. The antenna assembly includes at least two antennas which are separated into a first group and a second group. Both groups of antennas are mounted on a panel. A first phase adjuster is coupled to the fist antenna group. The first phase adjuster is also coupled to a second phase adjuster, which is also coupled to said second antenna group. The first phase adjuster is coupled to the second phase adjuster, such that an adjustment of the first phase adjuster causes an adjustment of the second phase adjuster. The first phase adjuster is adapted to adjust a phase angle of the signal of the first antenna group, while the second phase adjuster is adapted to adjust a phase angle of the signal of said second antenna group.

Antenna system

In one aspect, a stackable transmission line hanger is provided for securing one or more transmission lines to a supporting structure. Each such hanger includes a transmission line retention section for accommodating a transmission line and a mounting section extending from the transmission line retention section, the mounting section including a mounting hole disposed therein. The transmission line retention section includes a first leg and a second leg extending therefrom, the first and second legs allowing the hanger to accommodate various sizes of transmission lines. The first and second legs each include a locking barb configured to lock against an attachment surface.

In one aspect, a transmission line hanger is provided for securing a transmission line having a protective jacket to a supporting structure having an aperture defined by a wall. The transmission line hanger includes a transmission line retention section for retaining a transmission line. The transmission line hanger further includes an extended section extending from the retention section. The extended section includes a spring finger flexibly connected thereto, and projecting inwardly therefrom. The spring finger is configured to penetrate into the jacket once the transmission line is inserted into the hanger. The spring finger minimizes longitudinal movement of the transmission line with respect to the hanger. The extended section, in conjunction with the spring finger, allows the hanger to accommodate a large range of different transmission line diameters.

Transmission line hanger

A novel current-limiting line protector for a communications circuit is disclosed, and includes a first and second incoming conductive member, a one piece roll-formed conductive member conductively coupled to each incoming conductive member, a ground member, an S-shaped spring in slidable contact with the ground member, and a first and second diode and solder member combination conductively coupled to the first and second incoming conductive members and disposed between the spring and the incoming conductive members. Each diode and solder member combination maintains the spring and the respective incoming conductive member in spaced, non-conducting relation while each solder member remains substantially intact. However, when excessive current is conducted along either incoming conductive member, the respective solder member deforms allowing the spring to slide toward the respective incoming conductive member and along the ground member and form at least a portion of a conductive path from the respective incoming conductive member to the ground member. The line protector is non-resetting after the spring has displaced along the ground member.
