Patent ID: 7647691

Claim:
A method of producing antenna elements for a wireless communication device, the method comprising: passing a conductive material through a first die cut roller to generate a first cut in the conductive material, wherein the first cut defines a first portion of a perimeter of a pair of antenna tabs; passing the conductive material through a second die cut roller to generate a second cut in the conductive material, wherein the second cut defines a second portion of the perimeter of the pair of antenna tabs and thereby forms a 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 passing the conductive material through a third die cut roller to generate a third cut in the conductive material, 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 both the first cut and the second cut to adjust a size of a perimeter of the second antenna tab.
