An antenna structure and assembly is disclosed. The antenna structure includes a case that provides a capacitive coupling between a ground plane and a circuit board assembly that includes a low noise amplifier and satellite antenna. The case includes a metal impregnated thermoplastic resin. The ground plane may include at least one resilient fastener receiving portion that permits passage and frictional retention of at least one integrated fastening portion extending from the case. The antenna structure includes a cover portion placed over and ultrasonically welded to the case for encapsulating the circuit board assembly. A method for manufacturing the antenna structure is also disclosed.

Satellite antenna

An antenna adapted to be mounted to a motor vehicle for receiving digital audio signals from a satellite. The antenna includes a base configured to be secured to a vehicle, and an elongated mast constructed of a polymer material and including at least one antenna-forming conductor extending along the mast to receive signals. A spring member flexibly connects the elongated mast to the base, and an elastomeric cover extends between the base and the elongated mast and envelops the spring member. A flexible conductor is connected to the antenna-forming conductor and extends through the elastomeric cover.

Flexible vehicle antenna

A display apparatus includes a gauge with a first set of feature surfaces and a light pipe into which are integrally molded a second set of feature surfaces, wherein the first and second set of feature surfaces are engaged to integrally secure the gauge to the light pipe, whereby the light pipe performs dual functions of transmitting light and retaining the gauge.
