Abstract: An antenna comprises a coil element, a first metallic plate element, a second metallic plate element and terminals. The first metallic plate element and the second metallic plate element each have the shape of a triangle or an isosceles trapezoid. Further, the first metallic plate element and the second metallic plate element are mirror symmetric with respect to a symmetry plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The antenna provides a wider area of use at small size and can thus be used for different transmission technologies, such as NFC and UWB.
