Abstract
The invention relates to a multi-layered carrier element for reducing interference with an antenna comprising at least one coil. In addition to the layer, the antenna comprises a shield which is placed along at least one extension of the antenna and split at a certain point. The shield is electrically connected to a reference point which is located on the carrier element and is preferably electrically connected to the ground layer. The shield reduces interference such as that caused by a hand or by a nearby metallic object.
Claims15
A carrier element for an antenna, comprising:
- at least one antenna winding, said winding running in a layer of said element,
- at least one shield divided into parts by at least one partition, said shield running above and parallel to said layer, said parts being electrically insulated from one another,
- a second shield divided into second parts by at least one second partition, said second parts being electrically insulated from one another;
- and
- a third shield disposed atop said first shield and second shield, said third shield including at least one third partition dividing said third shield into third parts, said third parts being electrically insulated from one another.
