Abstract
An antenna includes a transparent substrate, a silver layer directly formed on a surface of the transparent substrate, an ink layer made of an electroconductive ink directly formed on the silver layer, and a transparent protective layer directly formed on the silver layer. The silver layer forms a desired antenna pattern and has a feed portion and grounding portion. The ink layer covers the feed portion and the grounding portion. The protective layer covers the silver layer besides the feed portion and the grounding portion. A method for making the antenna is also described.
