Abstract
An antenna assembly (120) includes a threaded casing (140) movably mounted on an antenna element (150). The antenna element (150) and threaded casing (140) have corresponding catches (155, 145) that engage when positioned with a particular orientation. The antenna element forms a torque driver that secures the threaded casing (140) to a support structure (125) when the catches engage and the antenna element (150) rotated, thereby installing the antenna element (150).
