Abstract
An antenna structure is provided. The antenna structure includes a metal sheet including an antenna branch and a grounding structure, wherein the antenna branch and the grounding structure are formed in one piece from the metal sheet, wherein the metal sheet has a top surface and a bottom surface, and the top surface and the bottom surface are opposite each other; a conductive glue disposed over the bottom surface of the metal sheet; and a supporting material disposed over a bottom surface of the conductive glue, wherein the supporting material is disposed corresponding to the antenna branch of the metal sheet. A method for manufacturing the antenna structure is also provided.
Claims18
An antenna structure, comprising:
- a metal sheet comprising an antenna branch and a grounding structure, wherein the antenna branch and the grounding structure are formed in one piece from the metal sheet, wherein the metal sheet has a top surface and a bottom surface, and the top surface and the bottom surface are opposite each other;
- a conductive glue disposed over the bottom surface of the metal sheet;
- and
- a supporting material disposed over a bottom surface of the conductive glue, wherein the supporting material is disposed corresponding to the antenna branch of the metal sheet.
A method for manufacturing an antenna structure, comprising:
- providing a stack structure, wherein the stack structure comprises:
- a release paper;
- a conductive glue disposed over a top surface of the release paper;
- and
- a metal sheet disposed over a top surface of the conductive glue, wherein the stack structure comprises an antenna branch-forming region and a grounding structure-forming region;
- performing a first cutting step to cut the metal sheet in the antenna branch-forming region to form an antenna branch;
- removing the release paper in the antenna branch-forming region to expose a bottom surface of the conductive glue in the antenna branch-forming region, wherein the bottom surface and the top surface of the conductive glue are opposite each other;
- attaching a supporting material onto the exposed bottom surface of the conductive glue in the antenna branch-forming region;
- and
- performing a second cutting step to cut the metal sheet, the conductive glue, the release paper and the supporting material to form a grounding structure in the grounding structure-forming region, wherein the antenna branch and the grounding structure are formed in one piece from the metal sheet.
