ANTENNA INCLUDING AN ANTENNA BASE AND FEED LINE RETAINER AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

摘要

An antenna includes an antenna base having a first optically cured resin body and a conductive layer thereon. In addition, the antenna also has at least one feed line constructed from an electrically conductive material. Moreover, a feed line retainer including a second optically cured resin body and having at least one recess therein carries the at least one feed line. The feed line retainer is positioned within the antenna base such that the at least one feed line does not contact the electrically conductive layer on the antenna base.
