Abstract:
1. An apparatus for producing antenna elements for a wireless communication device, the apparatus comprising: a first die cut roller configured to generate a first cut in a conductive material passed through the apparatus, wherein the first cut defines a portion of a perimeter of a pair of antenna tabs; a second die cut roller configured to generate a second cut in the conductive material passed through the apparatus, wherein the second cut defines a second portion of the perimeter of the pair of antenna tabs and thereby forms the first antenna tab, and wherein the second cut variably overlaps the first cut to adjust a size of a perimeter of the first antenna tab; and a third die cut roller configured to generate a third cut in the conductive material passed through the apparatus, wherein the third cut defines a third portion of the perimeter of the pair of antenna tabs and thereby forms a second antenna tab, and wherein the third cut variably overlaps the first cut to adjust a size of a perimeter of the second antenna tab.
