Abstract: A vehicle antenna mounting system (40) whereby the antenna (52), associated antenna electronics (LNS) and RF and DC coupling are provided in an integral antenna assembly (160) for installation on the exterior of a vehicle. The integral antenna assembly (160) comprises a base section (164) enclosing the associated antenna electronic and RF and DC coupling devices (168), and an antenna section pivotably mounted on the base section (164) comprising the antenna. Two or more antennas are provided in the integral antenna assembly for SDARS reception on at least one satellite chanel and a terrestrial chanel. Another satellite chanel can be provided for diversity purposes, or a global positioning system (GPS) satellite receiver for performing location services, among others, for the vehicle.

Abstract: A combined antenna system used for both vehicles and structures, whereby a satellite antenna is placed concentrically around a conventional mast antenna that can be used for both conventional FM radio and also terrestrial retransmission of the satellite broadcast signals. The combined antenna system, in a vehicle implementation, is configured to use only the one hole created in the vehicle manufacturing process, thereby preventing the necessity of drilling a second hole for the satellite antenna, which alleviates deterioration of the vehicle's body. Additionally, because the combined antenna system can be advantageously placed, a shorter RF cable connecting it to a receiver box can be implemented than otherwise would be the case for a satellite antenna located on a window or roof of a vehicle. In an alternative embodiment, the satellite antenna can be mounted on either a fixed or retractable terrestrial antenna, thereby raising the satellite antenna to a higher elevation with respect to any obstacles on the vehicle or structure.

Abstract translation: 用于车辆和结构两者的组合天线系统，其中卫星天线围绕常规天线杆同心地放置，该常规天线杆既可用于常规FM无线电又可用于卫星广播信号的地面转播。 在车辆实施方式中，组合的天线系统被配置为仅使用在车辆制造过程中创建的一个孔，由此防止钻出用于卫星天线的第二孔的必要性，这减轻了车体的劣化。 此外，由于可以有利地放置组合的天线系统，所以可以实现将其连接到接收器盒的较短RF电缆，否则对于位于车辆的窗户或车顶上的卫星天线的情况将会如此。 在一个替代实施例中，卫星天线可以安装在固定的或可缩回的地面天线上，由此相对于车辆或结构上的任何障碍物将卫星天线升高到更高的高度。
