Patent attributes
An RF antenna assembly and system are provided that can employ cost-effective geometry and manufacturing methods to control tolerance variations, thereby precisely controlling an antenna element of the RF antenna assembly during manufacturing and operation and enabling the RF antenna system to properly operate at high frequencies, such as in a 6-67 GHz frequency range. The RF antenna assembly can include a top alignment collar, a bottom alignment collar coupled to the top alignment collar by a press fit connection, and the antenna element secured from movement in all degrees of freedom and aligned for consistent RF operation by the top alignment collar and the press fit connection.
