Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of production of an antenna pattern having a predetermined general outline, with an ink jet printer, laser activation device or similar device. The device creates the antenna pattern with a plurality of empty inner portions within the general outline.

Claims

1. A method of production of an antenna pattern having a predetermined general outline, created with an ink jet printer, laser activation device or similar device, the method comprising creating said antenna pattern with a plurality of empty inner portions within said general outline, wherein said predetermined general outline is more densely printed or activated than inner portions of the antenna pattern.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said plurality of empty inner portions has rounded corners.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein said plurality of empty inner portions are arranged in a grid.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein said predetermined general outline is generally rectangular and is provided with a slot.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein said antenna pattern is created with an ink jet printer or laser activation device.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein said antenna pattern is created with a laser activation device.

7. A method of production of an antenna pattern having a predetermined general outline, created with an ink jet printer, laser activation device or similar device, the method comprising creating said antenna pattern with a plurality of empty inner portions within said general outline, wherein said antenna pattern comprises one or more feed points and wherein inner portions close thereto being more densely printed or activated than other inner portions of the antenna pattern.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein said antenna pattern comprises one or more ground points and wherein inner portions close thereto being more densely printed or activated than other inner portions of the antenna pattern.

9. The method according to claim 7, wherein said predetermined general outline is more densely printed or activated than inner portions of the antenna pattern.

10. The method according to claim 7, wherein said predetermined general outline is generally rectangular and is provided with a slot;

and/or wherein said plurality of empty inner portions are arranged in a grid.

11. A method of production of an antenna pattern having a predetermined general outline, created with an ink jet printer, laser activation device or similar device, the method comprising creating said antenna pattern with a plurality of empty inner portions within said general outline, wherein said antenna pattern comprises one or more ground points and wherein inner portions close thereto being more densely printed or activated than other inner portions of the antenna pattern.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein said predetermined general outline is more densely printed or activated than inner portions of the antenna pattern.

13. The method according to claim 11, wherein said predetermined general outline is generally rectangular and is provided with a slot, and/or wherein said plurality of empty inner portions are arranged in a grid.

14. An antenna pattern having a predetermined general outline and a plurality of empty inner portions, wherein said antenna pattern is created by an ink jet printer, laser activation device or similar device, wherein said predetermined general outline is more densely printed or activated than inner portions of the antenna pattern.

15. The antenna pattern of claim 14, wherein said antenna pattern comprises one or more feed points and wherein inner portions close thereto being more densely printed or activated than other inner portions of the antenna pattern.

16. The antenna pattern of claim 14, wherein said antenna pattern comprises one or more ground points and wherein inner portions close thereto being more densely printed or activated than other inner portions of the antenna pattern.

17. The antenna pattern of claim 14, wherein said antenna pattern is created by a laser activation device;

and/or wherein said plurality of empty inner portions are arranged in a grid.

18. A portable radio communication device comprising an antenna pattern having a predetermined general outline and a plurality of empty inner portions, wherein said antenna pattern is created by an ink jet printer, laser activation device or similar device, wherein said predetermined general outline is more densely printed or activated than inner portions of the antenna pattern.

19. The portable communication device according to claim 18, wherein said antenna pattern comprises one or more ground points and wherein inner portions close thereto being more densely printed or activated than other inner portions of the antenna pattern.

20. The portable radio communication device of claim 18, wherein said antenna pattern is created by a laser activation device;

and/or wherein said plurality of empty inner portions are arranged in a grid.
