A method of constructing a dipole antenna assembly is disclosed. The method includes providing a pair of mold halves and placing a feedline and a radiating portion within a cavity formed by the pair of mold halves, the radiating portion including a proximal portion and a distal portion separated from the proximal portion. The method further includes mating the pair of mold halves together to house the feedline and radiating portion within the cavity. A polyimide material may be injected through at least one inflow slot disposed through the mold halves into the cavity to adhere the distal portion to the proximal portion.
