Abstract

A method of producing an antenna element assembly is disclosed. The antenna element assembly (4) includes a rigid dielectric support member (1) carrying at least one radiating patch (2), the antenna element assembly being intended to be mounted onto an antenna device for transmitting and/or receiving microwave radiation. According to the invention, parasitic elements (3a, 3b) as well as the radiating patches (2) are formed onto the rigid support member by applying a conductive liquid in a screen printing process.
