Abstract
A self-latching antenna field coupler (120) includes two housing members (210, 230). One of the housing members (230) is movable, relative to the other housing member (210), between a first position to define an antenna receiving channel (222), and a second position to define a secured antenna chamber (322). A latch actuator (250) is mechanically coupled to the movable housing member (230), to automatically effect movement of the movable housing member (230) from the first position to the second position when an antenna (195) is received in the antenna receiving channel (222).
