Abstract:
1. A method of thermoforming shaped bodies from a thermoformable tape, the method comprising the steps: positioning a first area of thermoformable tape proximate to a thermoforming device; thermoforming the first area, thereby forming a first thermoformed shaped body coupled to the tape, wherein the first thermoformed shaped body is formed into an antenna carrier; repositioning the tape such that a second area of thermoformable tape is proximate to the thermoforming device; thermoforming the second area, thereby forming a second thermoformed shaped body coupled to the tape, wherein the second thermoformed shaped body is formed into an antenna carrier; coupling an antenna radiator to the first thermoformed shaped body while the first thermoformed shaped body is still attached to the thermoformable tape; and coupling an antenna radiator to the second thermoformed shaped body while the second thermoformed shaped body is still attached to the thermoformable tape.
