Abstract: A method for assembling a PIFA antenna (20) onto a plastic base of a handle electronic device includes forming the plastic base (30) with a number of posts (35) by a single-shot-molding process and punching a number of pinholes (215) on the PIFA antenna body corresponding to the posts protruding thereon.
