A low profile, multi angle, adjustable mounting bracket that allows an antenna or other device to be secured to a mounting surface and rotated through a substantially 180&deg; arc with minimal protrusion from the mounting surface. A mounting bracket in accordance with the present invention comprises a bracket support and a rotational slide support. The slide support provides two degrees of freedom in its adjustment by allowing both rotation and translation about a single point on the bracket support.

Mounting bracket for PCS and other antennas

The present invention comprises an antenna mount including at least a first anchoring portion having an open region formed therethrough wherein the open region is sized to accommodate a mounting structure such as a pole, mast, or other such structure. The antenna mount may include a locking device configured to releasably secure the antenna mount about a mounting structure disposed within the open region of the first anchoring portion. The locking device may comprise a first locking structure adjustably coupled to the anchoring portion, the first locking structure adjustable from a first position peripherally located with respect to a centerline of the open region to a second position adjacent the periphery of the open region, the first locking structure configured to releasably engage a mounting structure accommodated within the open region when the first locking structure is at the second position. The antenna mount also includes an antenna bracket comprising a first wall having an antenna engaging face and a second wall having a first face rotatably engaged to the first anchoring portion. An antenna mount as herein described thus provides an antenna mount suitable for installation on a variety of variously sized and configured mounting structures while allowing simple variable azimuth adjustment of patch or panel type antennas mounted to the antenna brackets.
