ABSTRACT:
An antenna and method of manufacturing thereof. The antenna includes an integral antenna element, support and base, all manufactured from a flexible circuit material. A stiffener material is added to the flexible circuit material where needed to provide rigidity. When the antenna is mounted in an antenna system, foam is injected around the antenna to enhance stability. The antenna is made from flexible circuit material using printed circuit board manufacturing techniques and thus manufacturing can be highly automated with excellent repeatability.
