Method of manufacturing a central stem monopole antenna
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing an antenna capable of being mounted on a printed circuit board, comprising:
- selecting the design dimensions of a unitary piece of material according to an operating wavelength;
stamping out the unitary piece of material from a larger section of material according to the design dimensions to form an antenna, the unitary piece comprising;
a circular area having a center and an outer region; and
a stem area having a first end and a second end, the first end joined with the center, the unitary piece bendable at the first end and the center;
a root area having a third end and a fourth end, the third end joined with the second end, the second end having a first width and the third end having a second width, the first width exceeding the second width.

Abstract
Methods of manufacturing an antenna are presented. The antenna is capable of being mounted on a printed circuit board. In accordance with the method, the design dimension of a unitary piece of material are selected according to an operating wavelength. The unitary piece of material is stamped out from a larger section of material according to the design dimensions to form an antenna. The unitary piece of material includes a circular area and a stem area. The circular area has a center and an outer region. The stem area has a first end and a second end. The first end is joined with the center. The unitary piece is bendable at the first end and the center.
