Component Carrier Having at Least a Part Formed as a Three-Dimensionally Printed Structure Forming an Antenna

A method for manufacturing a component carrier, the method comprising:

• connecting a plurality of electrically conductive layer structures and/or electrically isolating layer structures for forming a carrier body;
• and
• forming an antenna at least partially as a three-dimensionally printed structure on the carrier body by three-dimensional printing.

A method of designing a component carrier, the component carrier having a carrier body with a plurality of electrically conductive layer structures and/or electrically isolating layer structures and a three-dimensionally printed structure forming at least a part of an antenna on the carrier body, the method comprising:

• determining at least one parameter, which used in a step of three-dimensional printing the three-dimensionally printed structure, so as to obtain a predetermined resonant frequency of the antenna, wherein the parameter is at least one of a height, an area, and a volume of the antenna.
