Electronic apparatus with radio antenna folded in a casing

摘要

In the field of electronic apparatuses that can be held in the hand and that comprise a miniaturized radio antenna, an apparatus comprises a casing of generally parallelepipidal form with a main face and a first small side. The antenna extends partly along the main face and partly over the first side. It comprises a conductive structure divided up so as to form a meandering inductive conductive line linked to a main conductive surface which extends over most of the first side and which is folded at the ends of this first side onto a second and a third side adjacent to the main face to form two folded lateral wings, at least one respective slot being provided to separate each wing from the main conductive surface and thus narrow and lengthen the paths of the electric currents going to the folded lateral wings.

1. An electronic apparatus comprising radio communication circuits and a casing of generally parallelepipedal form intended to be held in a hand, with a first and a second main face and four sides adjacent to said main faces, and an antenna extending partly on one of said main faces, being a first main face, and partly on one of said sides, being a first side, wherein the antenna comprises a conductive structure divided up so as to form a meandering inductive conductive line linking an excitation point to a single main conductive surface which extends over most of the first side and which is folded at the ends of the first side onto respective sides, being a second and a third side, adjacent to the main faces to form two folded lateral wings, at least one respective slot being provided to separate each folded lateral wing from the main conductive surface and thus narrow and lengthen the paths of the electric currents going to the folded lateral wings.
