Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0169716A1] The invention concerns an antenna (1) consisting of a first strip (3) whereof the length (L1) is tuned at a high frequency (fh) and a second strip (4), extending the first of length (L2). The sum of lengths L1 and L2 results into an antenna whereof the length L3 is tuned at a low frequency (fb). A resonant circuit (5) comprising an inductance (6), connected in parallel on a capacitor (7) is located between the first and second strips (3, 4). The values of said components are selected so as to cause the resonant circuit to resonate on the high frequency (fh). When the high frequency is active, the length of the antenna is reduced to that (L1) of the first strip. When the low frequency is active, the length of the antenna extends to the sum (L3) of the lengths provided by the first and second strips. The inductance (6) is a narrow strip substantially rectilinear formed integrally with at least (3) one of said strips linked to said strip (8) by one of its ends.
