Antenna and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

An antenna may comprise a body including at least one first layer formed of metal and at least one second layer formed of resin, the first layer and the second layer being thermally fused to each other; and a waveguide formed in the body. A method for manufacturing an antenna may comprise heating a first layer formed of metal; and bonding the heated first layer formed of the metal and a second layer formed of resin so that the first layer and the second layer are thermally fused to each other to form a waveguide in a body of the antenna. The antenna and the method for manufacturing the antenna may save the weight and material costs by reducing the number of components and assembly processes, reduce the overall size, prevent damage during the assembly process.
