This antenna includes a helically formed wire coil having a lower end that is positioned in a connector a solid dielectric material is injection molded into the coil and connector to precisely maintain the coil dimensions and support the coil. An outer cover is injection molded over the coil and dielectric material.

Antenna and method of manufacturing an antenna

A whip antenna assembly of conductive cable, conductive base section, conductive protection knob and a environmental cover. The conductive antenna cable is constructed of multiple layers of brass plated stainless steel wire wound in a helix about a single wire strand which serves as a central core. The conductive base section and conductive protection knob consist of a zinc alloy and are injection cast onto opposite ends of the conductive antenna cable. An environmental cover made from polyurethane is injection molded over the subassembly of conductive antenna cable, conductive base section and conductive protection knob.
