VERTICAL FERRITE ANTENNA INCLUDING PRE-FABRICATED CONNECTION MEMBERS

A ferrite antenna is disclosed. The ferrite antenna includes a ferrite core a first main face, a second main face opposite to the first main face, and side faces connecting the first and second main faces. A first plurality of conductor wires are disposed at the first main face of the ferrite core; a second plurality of conductor wires disposed at the second main face of the ferrite core. A first connection member is disposed at a first side face of the ferrite core, the first connection member including a first plurality of connection wires; and a second connection member is disposed at a second side face of the ferrite core, the second connection member including a second plurality of connection wires; wherein the first and second pluralities of conductor wires and the first and second plurality of connection wires are interconnected in such a way that they form an antenna coil, wherein the ferrite core is disposed in the interior space of the antenna coil.
