Abstract:
An antenna mounting apparatus ( 10 ) in which an antenna bracket ( 32 ) can be rotated relative to a mount ( 20 ) in an azimuth direction and is selectively, automatically locked in position.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of operating a steering and locking apparatus of a cellular communications antenna comprising the steps of:\n providing an antenna steering and locking apparatus comprising:\n a first mount, \n an antenna mounting bracket attached to the first mount via a first rotational joint to allow rotation about a first azimuth steering axis in use, \n an electric steering actuator arranged to rotate one of the antenna mounting bracket and the first mount relative to the other, \n a first locking mechanism arranged to lock the first rotational joint against rotation, the first locking mechanism comprising:\n a locking member connected to one of the first mount and the antenna mounting bracket, \n a locking element connected to the other of the first mount and the antenna mounting bracket, the locking element arranged to move between an unlocked condition and a locked condition in which the locking element engages the locking member to prevent movement of the rotational joint, and \n an electric locking actuator arranged to actuate the locking element; \n \n disengaging the first locking mechanism by moving the locking element to the unlocked condition; engaging the electric steering actuator to rotate the antenna mounting bracket; and re-engaging the first locking mechanism by moving the locking element to the locked condition.
