Abstract

The present disclosure describes an antenna mount kit. The antenna mount kit includes an antenna mount and a pipe clamp coupled to the antenna mount. The pipe clamp includes a front shell half and a rear shell half, the front shell half and the rear shall half having a front shell half inner surface and a rear shell half inner surface configured to cooperate with each other such that the mountingstructure can be secured within the pipe clamp, at least two threaded bolts, a plurality of washers, and a plurality of nuts. The antenna mount kit may further include at least two isolation fasteners. The front shell half inner surface and the rear shell half inner surface each include a plurality of jagged teeth formed of a non-metallic material, at least two front shell bolt apertures through the front shell half, and at least two rear shell half bolt apertures through the rear shell half. The front shell half bolt apertures align with the rear shell half bolt apertures when securing the mounting structure within the pipe clamp. Antenna mount assemblies and methods for reducing external passive intermodulation from an antenna mount kit are also provided.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority and benefit to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 775,524, filed December 5, 2018, and U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 873,415, filed July 12, 2019, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety. technical field [0003] The present application is directed generally to telecommunications equipment, and more particularly to antenna mounts, kits and assemblies for mitigating external passive intermodulation in the vicinity of antennas. Background technique [0004] Currently, various metal (eg, stainless steel) components exist for securing antennas to telecommunications towers (eg, antenna mounts). However, in modern radio frequency (RF) environments, the use of metallic components near cellular base station antennas can be a source of unwanted passive intermodulation (PIM). Over the past few years, as cell tower density has increased and antenna systems have become m...
