Patent ID: 7286092

Claim:
A radiocommunication antenna, comprising: a variable phase adjustment unit that directs a radiation lobe of the antenna by variable phase adjustment and that includes an actuating device with an actuator ( 41 ) whose displacement controls the phase shift; and a module, insertable into the antenna and extractible therefrom, including a mechanical or electromechanical device co-operating with the actuating device to control the displacement of the actuator when the module is installed in the antenna, the actuating device having a control pin ( 21 ) comprising a screw ( 21 A) and a shaft ( 21 C) comprising grooves ( 21 E), said control pin ( 21 ) being terminated at the end of said screw ( 21 A) by a recess ( 21 B), a block ( 23 ), interconnected with a fixed portion ( 42 ) of the antenna and comprising a tapered orifice ( 23 C) forming a bearing ( 23 A), and a mobile stop ( 22 ), interconnected with said actuator ( 41 ), said mobile stop ( 22 ) comprising a notch ( 22 A) intended for receiving said recess ( 21 B) of said control pin ( 21 ), so that a rotation of said screw ( 21 A), and thereby of the control pin ( 21 ), in said bearing ( 23 A) induces the displacement of said actuator ( 41 ).
