Abstract
An antenna has a plurality of dipoles disposed on a reflector plate. Mounted to the reflector plate is a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) having a plurality of keyed slots, one per radiator of the plurality of dipoles. Disposed within each keyed slot is a transition clip holding an RF (Radio Frequency) cable in place. The transition clip has a shape that holds it in place with a quarter turn, obviating the need to solder the transition clip in place before installing the RF cable. The transition clip is configured to mechanically and electrically couple to the outer conductor of the RF cable and holds in place during soldering. The transition clip and PCB are configured so that the steps of soldering the outer conductor to the transition clip and the inner conductor to an RF signal solder point on the PCB may be performed from the same side of the PCB.
