Abstract
This invention is a method for forming an antenna reflector and housing f a plastic material, rather than from metal or a glass/cloth laminate. The method comprises the steps of scribing a grid structure on a plastic sheet; vacuum or gavity forming the plastic sheet and trimming it to size; coating the plastic sheet with a conductive metal such as copper; and then removing the excess copper from the antenna. Alternatively, a printing and etching technique can be used in substitution of the scribing coating steps.
