  • Patent number: 10277282
    Abstract: An antenna for short-range applications, including an elongate two-pole conductor structure with an internal conductor and a sheath conductor coaxially surrounding the internal conductor, and a terminal structure connected to the conductor structure. The terminal structure includes an electrically insulating carrier plate, an electrically conductive sheath conductor connection surface that extends over a first region of the carrier plate on the upper side of the carrier plate and is connected to the sheath conductor, an electrically conductive internal conductor connection surface that extends over a second region of the carrier plate, which is spaced apart from the first region of the carrier plate, on the upper side of the carrier plate and is connected to the internal conductor, an electrically conductive coupling conductor surface that extends over a third region of the carrier plate on the underside of the carrier plate. The antenna provides reliable transmission of information over short distances.
