Patent ID: 7777317

Claim:
A card for contactless communication with external devices comprising: a multilayer card body which has a substrate layer for accommodating an antenna coil having a plurality of windings and two coil connections on a top side of the substrate layer one of which two coil connections is connected in an electrically conductive manner to a first connection for a chip module containing a chip, a compensation layer that extends on the top side of the substrate layer, the compensation layer having a chip module opening for accommodating the chip module on the substrate layer and a first bridge opening to receive the first connection of an antenna bridge and a second bridge opening to receive the second connection of the antenna bridge, the antenna bridge extending substantially transverse to the windings wherein, the first connection of the antenna bridge is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the second coil connection of the antenna coil and the second connection of the antenna bridge is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the second connection of the chip module.
