Abstract:
1. A system for visual concealment of radio frequency antennas, the system comprising: at least two mounting platforms, wherein the at least two mounting platforms are coupled to a supporting structure according to a predetermined orientation; at least two vertical structural members, wherein each of the at least two vertical structural members is fixable to at least one of the at least two mounting platforms, and wherein each of the at least two vertical structural members is comprised substantially of extruded polyvinyl chloride material of a wall thickness ranging from about 0.12 to about 0.27 inches having a hollow central region extending the length of the vertical structural member, and wherein each of the at least two vertical structural members possesses a plurality of prefabricated attachment points, and wherein the at least two vertical structural members are substantially transparent to radio frequencies ranging from about 3 kHz to about 300 GHz; at least one horizontal structural member spanning between at least two of the at least two vertical structural members wherein the at least one horizontal structural member is supportably attached to at least two of the at least two vertical structural members via at least two of the plurality of prefabricated attachment points, and wherein the at least one horizontal structural member is comprised substantially of extruded polyvinyl chloride material with a wall thickness ranging from about 0.08 to about 0.1 inches having a hollow central region extending the length of the horizontal structural member, each of the horizontal structural members possessing a plurality of prefabricated attachment points, and wherein the horizontal structural members are substantially transparent to radio frequencies ranging from about 3 kHz to about 300 GHz; a plurality of fasteners capable of supportably attaching the at least one horizontal structural member to the at least two vertical structural members at the prefabricated attachment points and wherein each fastener is substantially transparent to radio frequencies ranging from about 3 kHz to about 300 GHz; and at least one panel connected to the at least one horizontal structural member by a plurality of clasps at the prefabricated connecting points concealing the supporting structure, wherein the at least one panel is comprised of polyvinyl chloride material, and wherein the plurality of clasps and the at least one panel are substantially transparent to radio frequencies ranging from about 3 kHz to about 300 GHz.
