Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif électronique comprenant une antenne selon la présente invention. Le dispositif électronique comprend: une antenne disposée sur une surface latérale du dispositif électronique et disposée sur un substrat; et une unité d'alimentation en forme de spirale comprenant une ligne d'alimentation qui est disposée sous l'antenne pour coupler-alimenter l'antenne. L'unité d'alimentation comprend une première et une seconde unité d'alimentation pour coupler-alimenter l'antenne de telle sorte que l'antenne est à double polarisation et résonne, et peut ainsi fournir une configuration d'antenne capable de réduire la sensibilité à un changement de performance d'un élément d'antenne à l'aide d'une structure d'alimentation en forme de spirale, et un dispositif électronique pour supporter la configuration d'antenne.
