Abstract
A radio-electric antenna is shaped to be positioned in proximity to an insertion hole for a smart-card reader of a payment terminal.
Claims10
A payment terminal comprising:
- a smart-card reader;
- and
- a radio-electric antenna wherein said radio-electric antenna comprises a transmission rim positioned in proximity to an insertion hole of the smart-card reader, so that said antenna absorbs a part of an electrostatic discharge of a smart card when said smart card is inserted into said smart-card reader.
A payment terminal comprising:
- a smart-card reader;
- and
- a radio-electric antenna wherein said radio-electric antenna is positioned in proximity to an insertion hole of the smart-card reader, so that said antenna absorbs a part of an electrostatic discharge of a smart card when said smart card is inserted into said smart-card reader, wherein said radio-electric antenna comprises an upper surface, a rim and at least one connection pad, said connection pad comprising a first part, parallel to said upper surface and perpendicular to said rim.
A payment terminal comprising:
- a circuit board comprising a radio frequency (RF) circuit and at least one RF connection pad on the circuit board;
- a smart-card reader;
- and
- a radio-electric antenna wherein said radio-electric antenna is positioned in proximity to an insertion hole of the smart-card reader, so that said antenna absorbs a part of an electrostatic discharge of a smart card when said smart card is inserted into said smart-card reader, wherein said radio-electric antenna comprises at least one electrical RF connection pad that is in electrical contact with the at least one RF connection pad on the circuit board.
