摘要：

An antenna support structure is in the form of a tree. The structure includes an armature and a plurality of pipes connected to the armature to define a skeleton. A layer of epoxy is applied over the skeleton and is surface molded to resemble the bark of actual tree trunks, limbs and branches. Artificial foliage is then assembled to the limbs and branches to resemble the leaves or needles of a tree. Antenna mounting assemblies are joined to the skeleton and positioned so that the receiving and transmitting antennas mounted thereon are largely hidden from view by the limbs, branches and foliage of the tree. The materials from which the limbs, branches and foliage are fabricated have been specifically selected so as to not interfere with the radio signals being transmitted from or received by the antennas. The antenna support structure is capable of supporting antennas in an inconspicuous manner which does not detract from the aesthetics of the location in which it is installed.
