The present disclosure provides an antenna and a manufacturing method thereof, and belongs to the field of communication technology. The antenna provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a first substrate and a second substrate opposite to each other, a dielectric layer provided therebetween, and a feed unit on a side of the second substrate away from the first substrate. The first substrate includes: a first base substrate; and a radiation unit on a side of the first base substrate close to the second substrate. The second substrate includes: a second base substrate; and a reference electrode layer on a side of the second base substrate away from the feed unit, the reference electrode layer has an opening, an orthographic projection of the opening on the second base substrate is at least partially overlapped with an orthographic projection of the radiation unit on the second base substrate.
