Abstract:

The antenna assembly is formed by building a shell housing by punch press operation. The housing contains the antenna features. The dielectric with load and connector is placed into the housing. Then a back is placed onto the assembly and the unit is enclosed by laser welding. This design allows the fabrication of the housing to be constructed with the antenna features built in and is simpler and less costly than prior designs.
