Antenna arrangement for radiating a high-frequency measurement signal of a measuring sensor

Abstract

An antenna arrangement configured to radiate a high-frequency measurement signal from a measurement sensor is provided, including: an antenna made of a plastic material; a waveguide made of the plastic material, in which the waveguide is integrally formed with the antenna; and a wall on an outside of the antenna that has metallization or is made of metal. A measuring device including a measurement sensor and the antenna arrangement is also provided. A method of manufacturing an antenna arrangement is also provided, the method including: providing an antenna arrangement having an antenna and a waveguide made of a plastic by an injection molding process, a micro injection molding process, a compression molding of a base body, or a 3D printing process, in which the waveguide is integrally formed with the antenna; and metallizing an exterior of the antenna to form a wall on the exterior of the antenna.
