Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The disclosure relates to a flexible printed circuit board of longitudinal shape comprising at least one conductive track extending over the length of the flexible printed circuit, the flexible printed circuit board comprising at least one folding area shaped so as to allow said flexible printed circuit board to pass from an unfolded state to a folded state in which the conductive track forms at least one antenna loop.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A flexible printed circuit board of longitudinal shape comprising at least one conductive track extending over the length of the flexible printed circuit, the flexible printed circuit board comprising at least one folding area shaped so as to allow said flexible printed circuit board to pass from an unfolded state to a folded state in which the conductive track forms at least one antenna loop. 2 . The flexible printed circuit board of claim 1 , further comprising: at least two conductive tracks extending over the length of the flexible printed circuit board, said at least two conductive tracks being substantially parallel to each other; and at least one covering area where a first end of the printed circuit board covers a second end of said printed circuit board. 3 . The flexible printed circuit board of claim 2 , wherein the covering area comprises means for connecting said at least two conductive tracks to each other in order to form a predefined number of antenna loops. 4 . The flexible printed circuit board of claim 1 , further comprising a connection extension of said flexible printed circuit board on an appropriate connector. 5 . The flexible printed circuit board of claim 1 , further comprising at least one orifice for affixing said flexible printed circuit board to at least one antenna support. 6 . The flexible printed circuit board of claim 2 , wherein the covering area comprises a connector, the connector connecting said at least two conductive tracks to each other in order to form a predefined number of antenna loops. 7 . A device comprising a transceiver and an antenna, the antenna comprising a flexible printed circuit board of longitudinal shape, the flexible printed circuit board comprising at least one conductive track extending over the length of the flexible printed circuit, the flexible printed circuit board comprising at least one folding area shaped so as to allow said flexible printed circuit board to pass from an unfolded state to a folded state in which the conductive track forms at least one antenna loop. 8 . The device of claim 7 , further comprising: at least two conductive tracks extending over the length of the flexible printed circuit board, said at least two conductive tracks being substantially parallel to each other; and at least one covering area where a first end of the printed circuit board covers a second end of said printed circuit board. 9 . The device of claim 8 , wherein the covering area comprises means for connecting said at least two conductive tracks to each other in order to form a predefined number of antenna loops. 10 . The device of claim 7 , further comprising a connection extension of said flexible printed circuit board on an appropriate connector. 11 . The device of claim 7 , further comprising at least one orifice for affixing said flexible printed circuit board to at least one antenna support. 12 . The device of claim 8 , wherein the covering area comprises a connector, the connector connecting said at least two conductive tracks to each other in order to form a predefined number of antenna loops. 13 . The device of claim 7 , further comprising at least one supporting part on which said antenna is positioned.
