Abstract
An antenna is configured to be soldered on a circuit board. The antenna comprises a main portion, at least one soldering terminal and at least one fixed portion. The main portion has a height in a vertical direction. The main portion is, at least in part, positioned below the soldering terminal in the vertical direction when the soldering terminal is soldered on the circuit board. The soldering terminal extends from the main portion along a horizontal plane perpendicular to the vertical direction. When the soldering terminal is soldered on the circuit board, the fixed portion is fixed on the circuit board at a location different from a location of the soldering terminal.

An antenna which is configured to be soldered on a circuit board having a lower surface and an upper surface positioned above the lower surface in a vertical direction, wherein:
- the antenna comprises a main portion, at least one soldering terminal, and at least one fixed portion;
- the main portion has a height in the vertical direction;
- the main portion is, at least in part, positioned below the soldering terminal in the vertical direction when the soldering terminal is soldered on the circuit board;
- the soldering terminal extends from the main portion along a horizontal plane perpendicular to the vertical direction;
- and
- when the soldering terminal is soldered on the upper surface of the circuit board, the fixed portion is fixed on the upper surface of the circuit board at a location different from a location of the soldering terminal.
