Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a device comprising an antenna for exchanging radio frequency signals with another device, and also to an antenna and a method.
[0002] Examples of such devices are home theater devices, surround sound devices, wireless headphone devices, second room wireless audio devices, biometric sensing devices, location tracking devices, mobile terminals, and wireless interfaces. Background technique
[0003] A prior art antenna is known from US 2002 / 0177416 A1 which discloses in its FIGS. 2 and 3 a ground surface 202 comprising an RF module 206 . This RF module 206 includes an RF circuit 306 mounted on a ground plane 302 incorporating a slot 304 with an open end and a closed end. As disclosed in FIG. 11 thereof, the connection points 308 , 1102 are near both sides of the slot 304 near the closed end.
