The invention relates to a communicating portable object (1) operating in a contactless or mixed contact-and-contactless manner, comprising a body in which a main antenna (8) is integrated which is capable of receiving, by radiofrequency, electrical energy from an external reader and of communicating therewith, and two electronic modules (2, 3) each provided with a dielectric substrate having at least one microelectronic chip connected to an antenna (12, 13) arranged on each module (2, 3) and inductively coupled to the main antenna (8) by means of a secondary antenna (7; 7a, 7b) also integrated in the body, characterised in that the two electronic modules (2, 3) are located in two adjacent cavities (4, 5) located on opposite faces of the body.
A communicating portable object with contactless or mixed contact and contactless operation, comprising a body integrating a main antenna capable of receiving electrical energy from an external reader via radio frequency and of communicating therewith, and two electronic modules each provided with a dielectric substrate having at least one microelectronic chip connected to an antenna disposed on each module and inductively coupled with the main antenna using a secondary antenna also integrated in the body and acting as a concentrator for inductively coupling with the antenna of each electronic module the two electronic modules being located in two adjacent cavities located on opposite faces of the body, wherein the secondary antenna is arranged as a single concentrator whose turns are disposed around the overall area occupied by cavities receiving the two electronic modules
