The structure of conducting lines comprises a first meander conducting line having multiple strands elongated in a first direction, a second meander conducting line symmetrical to the first conducting line in relation to a median line passing in the plane via the injection point and perpendicular to a general direction of elongation of the strands, the two lines starting from the injection point, and a common surface connected to the ends of the conducting lines distant from the injection point. The antenna is less sensitive to radiation efficiency reductions due to the presence of a plastic hood enclosing the antenna.

The antenna is powered by a single power supply line, and the free end of the power supply line is connected, by a connection means that can be opened or closed, to at least one means for rejecting one of the frequencies. This invention can be used in producing generic electronic boards.
