Antennas are formed of a conductive loaded resin-based material with
conductive wrapping, embedding, and/or center-fusing. The conductive
loaded resin-based material comprises micron conductive powder(s),
conductive fiber(s), or a combination of conductive powder and conductive
fibers in a base resin host. The percentage by weight of the conductive
powder(s), conductive fiber(s), or a combination thereof is between about
20% and 50% of the weight of the conductive loaded resin-based material.
The micron conductive powders are formed from non-metals, such as carbon,
graphite, that may also be metallic plated, or the like, or from metals
such as stainless steel, nickel, copper, silver, aluminum that may also
be metallic plated, or the like, or from a combination of non-metal,
plated, or in combination with, metal powders. The micron conductor
fibers preferably are of nickel plated carbon fiber, stainless steel
fiber, copper fiber, silver fiber, aluminum fiber, or the like.
