Abstract

A method of installation of a notebook computer antenna, the method is mainly to design to use a mode of manufacturing tags to make groups of or integrate antenna sections required by the notebook computer to make a tag antenna; then the tag antenna is stuck and fixed on an inner layer of the housing of the notebook computer. This method can reduce cost of manufacturing and thickness and weight of notebook computers.

Claims

1. A method of installation of an antenna for a notebook computer comprising the steps of:

a) manufacturing a tag antenna by integrating a plurality of antenna sections as required by said notebook computer; and

b) sticking and fixing the tag antenna to an inner layer of a housing of the notebook computer;

wherein the manufacturing step a) includes the steps of;

i) cutting at least one metallic sheet to produce a predetermined number of metallic radiation layers in shapes of said plurality of antenna sections for said notebook computer;

ii) forming a first adhesive layer by applying glue to a first side of each of the predetermined number of metallic radiation layers;

iii) shaping a tag film by punching and molding;

iv) sticking the tag film on the first side of each of the predetermined number of metallic radiation layers of the first adhesive layer and preventing air bubbles between the tag film and the first adhesive layer utilizing a set of press combining equipment;

v) forming a second adhesive layer on a second side of each of the predetermined number of metallic radiation layers;

vi) sticking a releasing paper on the second adhesive layer; and

vii) cutting the tag film and the releasing paper and forming a contour of the tag antenna.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein each of the predetermined number of metallic radiation layers of said tag antenna is connected respectively to a signal line of a predetermined number of signal lines.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the predetermined number of signal lines of said tag antenna are combined into one soft bus line.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the tag antenna has at least one layer.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the tag antenna is locate on a periphery of a display screen of the notebook computer.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the tag antenna is locate on at least three sides of a periphery of a display screen of the notebook computer.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein said tag antenna has at least one opening providing space for peripheral equipment of the notebook computer.
