Abstract

A method of manufacturing a stamped antenna includes providing a sheet of metallic material for a first stamping. A first stamping of the sheet of metallic material is performed to form at least one antenna that includes traces, contacts, a carrier connected to the traces, and at least one tie-bar connected between the traces. A pad is provided with at least one pressure sensitive adhesive area that is provided on the pad in substantially the same shape as the traces of the antenna. The pressure sensitive adhesive area is aligned with the traces of the antenna, and then bonded to the traces of the at least one antenna. A second stamping of the at least one antenna and the pressure sensitive adhesive is then performed to remove the at least one carrier and the at least one tie-bar connected to the traces.
