Antenna device, a method for its manufacture and a contact clip for such antennadevice

摘要

Antenna device (2) for transmitting and/or receiving RF signals, a contact clip and a method for manufacturing such an antenna device. The antenna (2) device comprises an inner support structure (4) having a central first longitudinal axis and supporting a radiating element (5), and an outer support structure (3) having an elongated cavity with an entry aperture, and covering at least a main portion of the radiating element (5), and the inner support (4). The inner support (4) has a slit spring action means exerting force adjacent to the entry aperture in at least directions essentially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis. A retainer being designed such that the force of the slit spring action means must be overcome to remove the inner support structure from elongated aperture is also provided in the antenna device. A contact clip having slit spring action features can be used to contact the radiating element of the antenna device.
