Abstract
A timepiece including a case formed of a metal middle part wherein are disposed a metal dial and a remote communication system provided with a multi-band antenna device arranged above the dial, the communication system including a bracelet of the timepiece connected at its ends to the middle part and including a body formed of a plurality of fastening elements having different electrical conduction properties, the arrangement of the fastening elements in the body of the bracelet being configured to achieve an enlargement of the radiation pattern of the antenna device.
Claims13
A timepiece comprising:
- a case formed of a metal middle part wherein are disposed a metal dial and a remote communication system provided with a multi-band antenna device arranged above said dial, the communication system comprising a bracelet of said timepiece connected at its ends to said middle part and comprising a body formed of a plurality of fastening elements having different electrical conduction properties, said antenna device comprises:
- a substrate,
- a first antenna circuit produced on said substrate and having first and second strands having a proximal end and a distal end, and extending in parallel between their proximal and distal ends, the first and second strands being connected by their proximal ends and separated at their distal ends,
- a second antenna circuit produced on said substrate and having third and fourth strands having a proximal end and a distal end, and extending in parallel between their proximal and distal ends, the third and fourth strands being connected by their distal ends and separated at their proximal ends,
- an electrical junction link joining the proximal ends of the first and third strands, and
- a connection part configured to be bent relative to said electrical junction link, and including a conductive connection connected to the electrical junction link and including an electromagnetic shielding of said conductive connection.
