Claims (18)

1. An antenna module, comprising:

an antenna, comprising at least a through hole;

a housing with the antenna disposed therethrough, wherein the housing comprises at least a flexible cantilever having a nub engaged in the through hole of the antenna;

a first member, fixed to the housing; and

a fastener, disposed through the first member and joined to the antenna, wherein the antenna further comprises a hollow main body and a connecting member fixed to an end of the main body, wherein the through hole is formed on the main body, and the fastener is joined to the connecting member.

2. The antenna module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first member is fixed to the housing by screws.

3. The antenna module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the antenna is a telescopic antenna electrically connected to the fastener.
