Embodiment Construction

[0034] figure 1 A top view of the foil 100 is shown. The foil 100 is made of an electrically insulating and flexible material. The foil 100 may be, for example, a piece of flexible plastic foil, preferably a piece of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foil. Foil 100 includes a figure 1 See front side 101. Foil 100 also includes a back side 102 opposite to front side 101 .

[0035] Arranged on the front side 101 of the foil 100 are a plurality of antenna structures 110 . The antenna structures 110 are arranged in a regular grid pattern. exist figure 1 In the example shown, the foil 100 comprises thirty antenna structures 110 arranged in five rows.

[0036] Each antenna structure 110 includes a conductive material. The antenna structure 110 is printed on the foil 100 by using silver ink or other kind of conductive ink. The antenna structure 110 may be printed on the foil 100 eg using a screen printing process.

[0037] The geometric layout of the antenna structure 110 de...

Abstract

An antenna includes a foil having a front side and a back side, a conductive antenna structure printed on the front side of the foil with conductive ink, and a metal connector connected to a contact pad of the antenna structure. The connector includes metal blades that penetrate the foil and contact pads.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an antenna and to a method for producing the antenna. Background technique [0002] Printed antennas are known in the prior art. Such printed antennas are manufactured by printing the antenna structure on a carrier using conductive ink, such as silver ink. It is known that when silver ink is exposed to air, it begins to oxidize and fade. Such oxidation is known to degrade the electrical performance of antenna structures printed with silver ink. To prevent oxidation, it is known in the prior art to cover printed antenna structures with a protective layer of lacquer. However, varnish layers are also known to degrade the electrical performance of printed antennas. The antenna efficiency of the printed antenna covered by the varnish layer is lower than that of the printed antenna not covered by the varnish layer. [0003] It is further known that antennas comprising antenna structures printed with conductive ink have poor mech...
