PANEL ANTENNA AND METHOD OF FORMING A PANEL ANTENNA

摘要

A method of forming an antenna by providing a first panel including a first conductive sheet secured to a sheet of dielectric material and forming one or more radiating elements and/or a feed network in the conductive sheet by forming grooves in the conductive sheet. The first panel may be a construction grade building panel or a similar suitable panel. The method enables panel antennas to be manufactured using inexpensive materials using inexpensive manufacturing processes
