Abstract
In an example mounting bracket for an antenna alignment device, a bracket component that abuts an antenna is provided. The bracket component has a relatively large surface area for a wider distribution of the applied clamping force, thereby minimizing high-pressure regions. Generally, the bracket component is made of a first piece and a second piece. The first piece is made of soft material such as e.g., rubber that abuts and grips an exterior surface of the antenna, thereby minimizing the slippage problem when the antenna surface is wet and or mossy. The second piece is made of rigid material such as metal or a metal alloy (e.g., an aluminum alloy) to maintain the structural integrity of the bracket component.
