Patent ID: 7750865

Claim:
An antenna configuration comprising: a carrier; a first antenna arm and a second antenna arm, each of the two antenna arms connected to the carrier and formed from an electrically conductive material, and each of the two antenna arms having a first end, a second end and a central longitudinal portion extending from the first end to the second end, said two central longitudinal portions located a first distance from one another at the two first ends, wherein each of the two first ends has a coupling zone for electrically coupling the two antenna arms to a terminal of an integrated component designed for communicating in a contactless manner, the two coupling zones located a second distance from one another, and the two coupling zones provided on the carrier, wherein said two central longitudinal portions are located a third distance from one another at the two second ends, the third distance being greater than the first distance and greater than the second distance, and the central longitudinal portions enclose an acute opening angle with one another, wherein each of the two antenna arms has a coupling region arranged on the carrier at a distance from its coupling zone, said two coupling regions located a fourth distance from one another, the fourth distance being greater than the second distance, and each of the two coupling regions for electrically coupling the two antenna arms to a terminal of a further electronic component, and each of the antenna arms has a base portion that extends from the coupling zone to the second end and has an angled portion that extends from the first end to the coupling zone, the base portions of the antenna arms enclosing a first acute opening angle on the carrier between the base portions and the angled portions of the antenna arms enclosing a second acute opening angle on the carrier between the angled portions, the second acute opening angle being larger than the first acute opening angle.
