Method for manufacturing antenna sheet

A method for manufacturing an antenna sheet, wherein the method is for connecting at least one of an antenna coil and a connection pattern, to a conductive member, wherein the at least one of the antenna coil and the connection pattern is provided on one surface of a substrate and wherein the conductive member is provided on the other surface of the substrate, the method comprising:

• a pressing in which an overlapped portion is pressed, the overlapped portion being a portion where the at least one of the antenna coil and the connection pattern, and the conductive member overlap each other, the at least one of the antenna coil and the connection pattern being formed from a first metal material, the substrate being formed from a thermoplastic resin, the conductive member being formed from a second metal material, the pressing being performed using a pressing unit from at least one of the one surface and the other surface of the substrate, the pressing being performed to:
• form a first through hole to the substrate, wherein the first through hole passes through the substrate;
• and
• bring the at least one of the antenna coil and the connection pattern, and the conductive member into contact with each other;
• and
• a melting in which a melted part is formed at the overlapped portion where the at least one of the antenna coil and the connection pattern, and the conductive member are in contact with each other, the conductive member and one end of the at least one of the antenna coil and the connection pattern are melted in the melted part, the melting being performed to:
• melt the at least one of the antenna coil and the connection pattern, and the conductive member to each other,
• wherein the melting is performed using a laser.
