Abstract
An antenna coupling system including an antenna stem (108) with a raised wall (206) having an opening (210) therethrough and defining a plurality of key receptacles (216, 218, 220, 222) and detents (224, 410, 412) coupled to an antenna latch detent mechanism (102) that provides a manner of maintaining a SSU antenna (106) in a stowed position and two deployed positions with respect to the SSU handset (100). The antenna coupling system further includes an antenna connector (110) and a handset connector (104) wherein rotation of the antenna connector (110) with respect to the handset connector (104) maintains a robust RF connection and notifies circuitry in the handset (100) when the antenna (106) is in one of two deployed positions.
