Description

Technical Field

[0002] Currently, most multifunctional positioning and communication combination antennas are primarily based on the positioning antenna, with the communication antenna positioned at the edge of the positioning antenna's dielectric. These antennas are often constructed of high-frequency plastic, resulting in significant overall weight, bulk, and cost. Positioning and communication antennas are often constructed with a positioning antenna plus RF circuitry and a single communication antenna. These antennas only provide satellite signal reception and communication capabilities, lacking the processing capabilities of satellite and communication modules. Conventional satellite and communication modules require a large antenna substrate, making integration difficult. Forced integration can lead to increased antenna substrate size or interference with the RF circuitry.

[0003] Therefore, further improvements are made to the above problems. Utility Model Content

Each of the positioning antenna probe copper-clad via holes is installed with one end (top end) of a positioning antenna probe. A plurality of metal fixing nut columns are also provided around the positioning wire circuit board. The positioning antenna circuit board is provided with a plurality of spacing columns, the first fixing screw is connected to the top end (screw hole end) of the spacing column, and the bottom end (threaded end) of the spacing column passes through the second fixing through hole and is connected with a nut (fixing the communication wire circuit board and the positioning antenna circuit board).

[0008] The antenna substrate is provided with a plurality of copper-clad through-holes and a plurality of module substrate mounting holes. The second fixing screw passes through the corresponding copper-clad through-holes and is installed on the metal fixing nut column (fixing the antenna substrate and the positioning antenna circuit board).
