Exemplary embodiments are provided of molding designs and methods for helical antennas. In an exemplary embodiment, a method generally includes placing an antenna element between a top mold core and a first bottom mold core, and injecting molding material into a first mold cavity defined by at least the top mold core, thereby forming a top portion of a helical antenna housing and two opposite side portions of the helical antenna housing. The method also includes removing the first bottom mold core and placing a second bottom mold core about the antenna element, and injecting molding material into a second mold cavity defined by at least the second bottom mold core, thereby forming a bottom portion of the helical antenna housing.

Molding designs for helical antennas

Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of vehicular antenna assemblies and methods relating to assembling vehicular antenna assemblies. In an exemplary embodiment, a vehicular antenna assembly generally includes a dielectric antenna carrier and at least one antenna coupled to the dielectric antenna carrier. The at least one antenna includes a lower end portion that extends downwardly relative to the dielectric antenna carrier. The lower end portion is positionable within an opening in a printed circuit board and/or positionable in electrical contact with a contact member along the printed circuit board when the dielectric antenna carrier and the at least one antenna are moved relatively downward toward the printed circuit board.

Vehicular antenna assemblies

An antenna assembly for installation to a mobile platform includes a base portion and an antenna module capable of being removably coupled to the base portion. The base portion includes a longitudinal axis and defines a channel extending along at least part of the longitudinal axis. The antenna module includes a mount and an antenna element coupled to the mount. The mount and antenna element can be received into the channel of the base portion, in electrical contact with the base portion, and then subsequently removed from the channel of the base portion as desired. Further, the base portion of the antenna assembly is configured to accommodate multiple different antenna modules as desired.

Interchangeable slidably mountable fins for antenna assemblies

An antenna assembly is provided suitable for use with a remote communications module such as, for example, a keyless entry module, a tire pressure monitoring module, etc. The antenna assembly generally includes a support, a folded metallic antenna element mounted on the support, an amplifier coupled to the folded antenna element, and a transmission line coupled to the amplifier.

Antenna assemblies for remote applications

Exemplary embodiments are provided of apparatus and methods relating to antenna multiplexers and demultiplexers are disclosed. In exemplary embodiments, antenna multiplexers include two or more inputs for receiving a corresponding number of signals from multiple antennas. The antennas may include world cell antennas, AM/FM antennas, SDARS antennas, GPS antennas, and/or antennas combining the preceding. Exemplary antenna multiplexers also include an output for simultaneously outputting the combined signals received by the multiplexer. Demultiplexers for receiving such combined signals and outputting each signal via a separate output are also disclosed.
