1. A compressible dielectric standoff configured to mount at least one antenna on a ground plane of an antenna assembly, the compressible dielectric standoff comprising:
a ground plane end configured to contact the ground plane; and
at least one antenna end configured to contact the at least one antenna;
a resilient frame extending between the ground plane end and the at least one antenna end;
wherein the compressible dielectric standoff is movable between a compressed state in which the ground plane end is spaced apart from the at least one antenna end a first distance, and an expanded state in which the ground plane end is spaced apart from the at least one antenna end a second distance, the first distance being smaller than the second distance.
