Title:
A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN ANTENNA AND AN ANTENNA STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2008101413
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an antenna and an antenna structure. The traditional built-in antennae have problems that there is an instability of the antenna RF performance due to the variation of the interval between the RF element and the base body on which the RF element is mounted, it is difficult sometimes to manufacture a RF element with a complicated 3-D configuration, and so on. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing an antenna, comprising: providing a base body; by use of the chemically plating process, forming a chemically plated metal layer on the outer surface of the base body; according to the pattern of the antenna, carving the metal layer on the base body at certain portions to form a RF element pattern so that the portion of the metal layer forming the RF element pattern is separated fully from the remaining portion of the metal layer which will be removed later; electroplating the metal layer of the carved RF element pattern formed on the base body with Cu so as to form an electroplated Cu layer on the pattern of the antenna; removing the portion of the chemically plated metal layer on the base body that has not been electroplated. The present invention also provides a corresponding antenna structure.
