Modular system for detecting, tracking, and transmitting to identified objects
A modular, radio frequency (“RF”) system includes one or more directional antennas and is configured with both hardware and software components to enable the RF system to monitor (e.g., detect or track signals or objects) and/or interact with (e.g., track signals or objects, or transmit signals) objects in particular directions. The RF system includes one or more machine learning models to determine, based on received signals, one or more signals to transmit.
1. An antenna mount of an RF system, the antenna mount comprising:
a first coupling feature positioned in a track of a side of the RF system, wherein the first coupling feature may slidably move in the track;
an antenna bracket coupled to the first coupling feature, wherein the coupling between the antenna bracket and the first coupling feature provides a first pivot point, and wherein an antenna is coupled to the antenna bracket;
a fixed mount on the side of the RF system; and
a second coupling feature coupled to the fixed mount, wherein the coupling between the fixed mount and the second coupling feature provides a second pivot point, and wherein the second coupling feature is coupled to the antenna bracket providing a third pivot point,
wherein the antenna bracket is coupled to the first coupling feature by insertion of a first locking portion of the antenna bracket into a receiving locking portion of the first coupling feature at a first angle, and then rotation of the antenna bracket causing engagement of the first locking portion with the receiving locking portion.
2. The antenna mount of claim 1 , wherein the first coupling feature is configured to be slid along the track to provide a target angle for the antenna by movement of the first, second, and third pivot points.
3. The antenna mount of claim 1 , wherein the second coupling feature is coupled to the fixed mount with a locking pin.
4. The antenna mount of claim 1 , wherein the first coupling feature is releasably locked in place on the track using a locking component.
5. An antenna mounting method in an RF system, the method comprising:
providing a first coupling feature of an antenna mount in a track of a side of the RF system, wherein the first coupling feature may slidably move in the track;
providing a fixed mount on the side of the RF system;
coupling an antenna bracket to the first coupling feature, wherein the coupling between the antenna bracket and the first coupling feature provides a first pivot point, and wherein an antenna is coupled to the antenna bracket;
coupling a second coupling feature of the antenna mount to the fixed mount, wherein the coupling between the fixed mount and the second coupling feature provides a second pivot point, and wherein the second coupling feature is coupled to the antenna bracket providing a third pivot point; and
sliding the first coupling feature along the track to provide a target angle for the antenna by movement of the first, second, and third pivot points,
wherein coupling the antenna bracket to the first coupling feature comprises inserting a first locking portion of the antenna bracket into a receiving locking portion of the first coupling feature at a first angle, and then rotating the antenna bracket to cause the first locking portion to engage with the receiving locking portion.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second coupling feature is coupled to the fixed mount using a locking pin.
7. The method of claim 5 further comprising:
locking the first coupling feature in place on the track using a locking component.
