Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed is a battery having a positive terminal and a negative terminal and two electrical connection tongues, each tongue secured to one of the terminals thereof. The battery also includes at least one additional connection tongue secured to one of the terminals thereof, forming a radiating element with the electrical connection tongue secured to the same terminal of the battery.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A battery equipped with a positive terminal and a negative terminal and two electrical connection tabs ( 11 , 12 ), each secured to one of its terminals, said battery further comprising at least one additional connection tab ( 14 ) secured to one of its terminals, forming a radiating element with the electrical connection tab that is secured to the same terminal of the battery, wherein the additional connection tab ( 14 ) forms, with one of the electrical connection tabs ( 11 , 12 ), a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA), and wherein a first connection tab is connected to one of the terminals of the battery and to ground, a second connection tab is connected to the other terminal and receives an excitation signal, and wherein the additional connection tab is left free and forms a monopole. 2. The battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the additional connection tab ( 14 ) is connected to an electronic circuit ( 13 ). 3. The battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the resonant frequency of the antenna is set by the length and/or the width and/or the thickness and/or the positioning of the additional connection tab. 4. The battery as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the positioning of the additional connection tab ( 14 ) on the periphery of the battery allows the gain of the antenna to be adjusted by varying the free radiating volume of the antenna. 5. The battery as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the positioning of the additional connection tab ( 14 ) on the periphery of the battery allows the gain of the antenna to be adjusted by varying the free radiating volume of the antenna. 6. The battery as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the positioning of the additional connection tab ( 14 ) on the periphery of the battery allows the gain of the antenna to be adjusted by varying the free radiating volume of the antenna. 7. A battery equipped with a positive terminal and a negative terminal and two electrical connection tabs ( 11 , 12 ), each secured to one of its terminals, said battery further comprising at least one additional connection tab ( 14 ) secured to one of its terminals, forming a radiating element with the electrical connection tab that is secured to the same terminal of the battery, wherein the positioning of the additional connection tab ( 14 ) on the periphery of the battery allows the gain of the antenna to be adjusted by varying the free radiating volume of the antenna. 8. The battery as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the additional connection tab ( 14 ) forms a loop antenna with the tab associated with the same terminal of the battery. 9. The battery as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the additional connection tab ( 14 ) forms a monopole antenna. 10. The battery as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the additional connection tab ( 14 ) forms, with one of the electrical connection tabs ( 11 , 12 ), a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA). 11. The battery as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the additional connection tab ( 14 ) is connected to an electronic circuit ( 13 ).
