ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a printed antenna is disclosed which involves the steps of: providing a printed circuit board of desired length and width having a first side, a second side, a feed open, and an open end; fabricating a main radiating element of a desired electrical length on one of the printed circuit board sides; and, overmolding both sides of the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is made of a dielectric material having a minimum degree of flexibility and the overmolding step is accomplished by injection or insertion molding a low-loss dielectric material on the printed circuit board. In addition, the manufacturing method includes the step of incorporating a feed port with the printed antenna, wherein the main radiating element is coupled to a signal feed portion thereof.
