Zusammenfassung: | A pod for communications, research, navigation, and weather equipment, including antennas or sensors, has a skeleton formed by metal double channels and other metal structural elements, and is connected to a tower by rigid structural elements, including braces extending from below the pod to inner and outer beam rings of a floor skeleton. Fiberglass panels are connected to the floor and roof skeleton, and between the floor and roof skeletons, to form exterior and interior sides, defining an enclosure of sufficient integrity that it is water-tight, and may be air conditioned (heated and/or cooled). The exterior sides formed by the panels are contoured (e.g. curved about both horizontal and vertical axes), and the floor and roof panels are tapered, so as to provide an aerodynamic design of the pod. A dual set of railings is mounted on the roof with antennas connected to each set of railings, so as to provide maximum horizontal spacing of the antennas. |
