ABSTRACT:
A method of mass producing printed circuit antennas is disclosed including the steps of providing a substrate of dielectric material having a first side and a second side, removing portions of the substrate to produce an array of interconnected segments of desired size, fabricating a main radiating element on the first side of each substrate segment, overmolding each substrate segment with a protective dielectric material, and separating each substrate segment from the dielectric substrate to form a plurality of individual printed circuit antennas. Preferably, each of the foregoing steps are able to be performed on each substrate segment substantially simultaneously. The method may also include the steps of freeing one end of the substrate segments, attaching an electrical connector to each substrate segment, and overmolding the electrical connector for each of the substrate segments prior to the separating step. Fabrication of additional radiating elements to the first or second side, or alternatively a reactive or parasitic element to the second side, may be undertaken so that the printed circuit antennas are capable of multi-band operation.
