ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a high dielectric antenna structure. In one embodiment, one or more high dielectric film layers are applied to a dielectric base layer by silk-screening to yield a dielectric structure having a dielectric constant greater than that of the dielectric base layer. After firing, a patch antenna element having a predetermined configuration is disposed on the top surface of the dielectric structure by silk-screening a conductive paste thereupon and firing. A ground plane is disposed on the bottom surface of the dielectric structure by silk-screening a conductive paste thereupon and firing. A pre-drilled dielectric base layer may be employed with registered holes defined in the various silk-screened layers to provide access for an RF feed means, or alternatively, a feed hole can be bored through the antenna structure to permit interconnection between an RF feed means and the patch antenna element. For multiple-frequency applications, additional stacked dielectric structures and patch antenna elements can be manufactured according to the disclosed method, with the uppermost patch antenna element being interconnected with the RF feed means.
