Abstract
A meander line antenna (MLA) is fabricated by using printed circuit techniques to form a one-piece meander line. Previous MLAs so constructed required hand assembly. The present method of the invention utilizes photolithographic methods and plated through hole construction to fabricate the antenna without the need for hand assembly. A conductor trace is etched on both sides of a printed circuit board, and slotted vias are milled into the board, wherein the vias are plated through to form the continuous meander line circuit.
