A stamped antenna and a method of manufacturing includes providing a sheet of metallic material for a first partial stamping. The first partial stamping forms an antenna including traces, contacts, carriers connected to the traces, and tie-bars between the traces. A pressure sensitive adhesive is then bonded to the traces of the antenna. A second complete stamping is then performed on the antenna, including pressure sensitive adhesive, to remove the carriers and tie-bars. An intermediate product for the manufacture of an antenna includes a pressure sensitive adhesive, one or more stamped traces bonded with the pressure sensitive adhesive, and at least one tie-bar connected between the one or more traces supports the one or more traces. |
