An object of the present invention is a device for assembling the components of a panel antenna that comprises at least one volumic radiating element comprising a base atop which is mounted a radiating plane, and at least one component of the antenna's mechanical structure. The device comprises a dielectric member comprising a central area comprising a first fastening means cooperating with the radiating component, lateral areas comprising second fastening means cooperating with longitudinal edges of the antenna's mechanical structure, and an intermediate area comprising a third means of flexible linking between the first and the second fastening means.

Antenna assembly device

The panel type antenna includes a flat conductive mount including at least one orifice, at least one radiating element including a base mounted beneath a dipole and a device for coupling and fixing the radiating element to the support. The device for coupling and fixing the radiating element, comprising a base mounted beneath a dipole, on the support with a dielectric part including a base with a dimension greater than the orifice in the support, at least one rod joined with the base and extending in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the base through the orifice of the support adapted for the insertion of the rod, at least one protuberance built into the end of the rod able to cooperate with the radiating element to hold it in place. The device includes a dielectric layer between the radiating element and the conductive mount to avoid direct contact.
