Radiator frame having antenna pattern embedded therein and method of manufacturing the same

A radiator frame comprising:

• a radiator comprising
• an antenna pattern portion configured to transmit or receive a signal, and
• a connection terminal portion configured to electrically connect the antenna pattern portion and a circuit board;
• and
• a molding frame connected to the radiator such that the antenna pattern portion is exposed at one surface of the molding frame and the connection terminal portion is exposed at another surface of the molding frame opposing the one surface of the molding frame,
• wherein the connection terminal portion includes a plated layer exposed at the other surface of the molding frame to contact the circuit board, and,
• the radiator comprises a 3D structure bent to form the antenna pattern portion and the connection terminal portion;
• and
• the radiator comprises the plated layer on an entirety of a second surface of the radiator including an exposed surface of the connection terminal portion exposed at the other surface of the molding frame.
