Stamped Antenna and Method of Manufacturing

摘要

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.

1. A method of manufacturing an antenna, comprising:
providing a sheet of metallic material; performing a first stamping of the sheet of metallic material to form at least one antenna, the at least one antenna including traces, contacts, a carrier connected to the traces, and at least one tie-bar connected between the traces; bonding a pressure sensitive adhesive to the traces of the at least one antenna; and performing a second stamping of the at least one antenna and the pressure sensitive adhesive to remove the at least one carrier and the at least one tie-bar connected to the traces.
