[0002] The bottom cover is an important component installed at the bottom of the antenna cover, which mainly plays a role of protection and sealing. With the development of communication technology, antennas need to support more and more frequency bands. In traditional antenna design, the ports of each frequency band are usually arranged on the bottom cover of the antenna, and a certain distance should be maintained between each port to facilitate the client to use the corresponding connector to connect and wrap with waterproof tape.

[0003] However, as the frequency bands increase, the layout of the connectors on the bottom cover becomes too dense or even impossible to layout, which has become a technical bottleneck restricting the further integration of more frequency bands in the antenna. Utility Model Content

[0007] A further improvement is that an outer edge of the end cover is provided with a glue storage groove matching the lower end cross section of the antenna cover.

[0008] A further improvement is that the glue storage groove is filled with silica gel, or a sealing strip is installed in the glue storage groove.

[0009] A further improvement is that the end cover also includes a second side cover plate, and the second side cover plate is formed on a side edge of the main cover plate opposite to the first side cover plate and extends outward perpendicular to the main cover plate. A second incision matching the size of the second side cover plate is opened at the lower end of the corresponding side plate on the antenna cover, and a plurality of connectors are installed on the second side cover plate for connecting to an external connector.

[0010] A further improvement is that the end cover also includes a third side cover plate, and the third side cover plate is formed by extending outward perpendicularly to the main cover plate on a side edge of the main cover plate adjacent to the first side cover plate, and a third incision matching the size of the third side cover plate is opened at the lower end of the corresponding side plate on the antenna cover, and a plurality of connectors are installed on the third side cover plate for connecting to an external connector.

[0011] A further improvement is that the end cover also includes a fourth side cover plate, and the fourth side cover plate is formed on a side edge of the main cover plate opposite to the third side cover plate and extends outward perpendicularly to the main cover plate, and a fourth incision matching the size of the fourth side cover plate is opened at the lower end of the corresponding side plate on the antenna cover, and a plurality of connectors are installed on the fourth side cover plate for connecting to an external connector.
