Abstract
A chip antenna and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. A chip antenna includes connection terminals disposed on both ends of a core, and a coil wound around the core and having ends thereof connected to the connection terminals, in which the connection terminals include a metal plate, and at least a portion of the connection terminals has a thickness greater than a winding thickness of the coil.
Claims15
A chip antenna comprising:
- a magnetic core:
- metal connection terminals disposed on ends of the core and in direct contact with the core;
- and
- a coil wound around the core and having ends thereof connected to the connection terminals,
- wherein at least a portion of the connection terminals has a thickness greater than a winding thickness of the coil.
A method of manufacturing a chip antenna, the method comprising:
- preparing a core having a bar shape;
- coupling connection terminals to ends of the core by bending the connection terminals directly onto and around the ends of the core, respectively;
- and
- winding a coil around the core and connecting the ends of the coil to the connection terminals,
- wherein a thickness of a portion of the connection terminal disposed below the core is greater than a winding thickness of the coil.
A method of manufacturing a chip antenna, the method comprising:
- coupling a bent conductive plate to a core to form a connection terminal;
- electrically connecting a coil wound around the core with the connection terminal to establish an electrical connection;
- and
- mounting the core on which the connection terminal is formed on a board,
- wherein a thickness of a portion of the connection terminal disposed between the core and the board is greater than a winding thickness of the coil.
