Abstract
According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of antenna assemblies. In one exemplary embodiment, an antenna assembly suitable for installation to a vehicle body wall generally comprises a chassis, a radome, and a shield disposed generally between the chassis and radome. Two or more resiliently compressible bumpers are spaced apart and compressively sandwiched generally between the radome and the shield. Compression of the bumpers generates a compressive force urging the shield generally towards the chassis that aids in electrically grounding of the shield with the chassis.
