  • the antenna can be easily housed in this timepiece during its assembly so as to take advantage of the inherent dimensions of the timepiece to optimize the electrical dimensions of the antenna.
  • the timepiece further comprises a ground plane located in the mounting groove, between the antenna and the exterior surface of the first housing so that it surrounds this housing.
  • FIG. 1 schematically represents an forearm carrying a wristwatch 1 comprising a box 2 and a bracelet 3.
  • the box 2 contains an antenna 4.
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the wristwatch 1 comprising the housing 2, the bracelet 3 and the antenna 4.
  • the wristwatch 1 further comprises an additional housing 5, which is disposed in the housing 2.
  • a micro transceiver 6 is arranged in the housing 5 in addition to the time display members comprising in particular a movement 7, a dial 8, hands 9 and a supply battery 10.
  • the micro transceiver 6 is connected to the antenna 4 so that it receives or transmits messages using the latter and then transforms these messages into data perceptible by the wearer of the wristwatch 1, for example, by emitting sound signals.
  • the antenna 4 comprises conductive elements in circuit prints 11 and 12 fixed on a dielectric substrate 13.
  • the substrate 13 is preferably flexible. For example, it has been determined that commercially available Kapton® and Espanex® materials are suitable in this regard.
  • the conductive element 11 defines a dipole.
  • this dipole has a length of approximately ⁇ 2 , where ⁇ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic signal that the antenna is intended to receive or transmit.
  • the conductive element 12 forms a compensation arm which is added to this dipole. The length of the arm is adjusted so that the impedance of the antenna is adapted to a transmission line which connects the antenna 1 to the micro transceiver 6 disposed in the case of the timepiece of the invention.
  • connection between the antenna 4 and this transmission line is assigned to two excitation points 14 and 15, respectively at mid-length of the conductive element 11 and on the conductive element 12.
  • the conductive elements 11 and 12 are preferably formed by metallic deposits, for example, of copper, on the dielectric substrate 13.
  • FIG. 4 shows a variant of the antenna of FIG. 3. It can be seen in this figure that the antenna 16 comprises conductive elements in printed circuit 17.1 and 17.2 fixed on a dielectric substrate 18.
  • the conductive element 17.1 forms a dipole. Preferably, this dipole has a length of approximately ⁇ 2 .
  • the conductive element 17.2 forms a compensation arm which is added to this dipole.
  • An armature of a capacitor 19 is connected with the end of the conducting element 17.2 so as to form with the latter a gamma adaptation connection between the dipole 17.1 and the transmission line which connects the antenna 1 to the microreceptor 6.
  • the connection between antenna 16 and the transmission line is assigned to two excitation points, respectively at mid-length of the conducting element 17.1 and the other armature of the capacitor 19.
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the wristwatch 1.
  • the timepiece 1 includes the dipole antenna 4 of Figure 3 as well as the two cases 2 and 5, the clockwork movement 7, the microreceptor 6 and the power supply battery 10 of FIG. 2.
  • the timepiece 1 also comprises a printed circuit board 20 mounted in the housing 5, a crystal 21, a base 22 and a transmission line 23.
  • the micro transmitter- receiver 6 is mounted on the printed circuit board 20.
  • the micro transceiver 6 and the movement 7 are supplied by the portable energy source 10.
  • the housing 2 is intended to receive the housing 5 so that the exterior surface of the housing 5 and the interior surface of the housing 2 define a mounting groove 25.
  • the antenna 4 is located in the mounting groove 25 so that it wraps around the housing 5.
  • the arrangement which has just been described makes it possible to manufacture the antenna independently of the other elements of the timepiece. This facilitates the manufacture not only of the antenna but also of the timepiece as such.
  • this arrangement facilitates the housing of the antenna during its assembly in the timepiece so as to take advantage of the inherent dimensions of the latter and to be able to optimize the electrical dimensions of the antenna.
  • the surface of the conductive elements 11 and 12 extend in the direction of the depth of the wristwatch 1, namely in the direction between its crystal and its background.
  • the optimization of the antenna 4 is linked to this surface.
  • the depth of a wristwatch is a dimension that can be relatively easily changed without significantly affecting either its visual appearance or the ease of use.
  • the arrangement of the antenna in this way makes it possible to facilitate the optimization of the antenna in a wristwatch.
  • the antenna 4 is excited using the transmission line 23 which connects the antenna 4 to the microreceptor 6.
  • the transmission line 23 is preferably made up of a microstrip track.
  • this transmission line could also consist of a coaxial cable.
  • the transmission line 23 passes through an opening 26 formed in the side wall of the housing 5.
  • this arrangement makes it possible to minimize the length of the transmission line 23 and thus minimize losses due to it.
  • the wristwatch 1 could also include a ground plane 24.
  • the ground plane 24 is located in the mounting groove 25 between the antenna 4 and the outer surface of the housing 5 so that it surrounds the latter.
  • the ground plane 24 has the advantage of electrically isolating the antenna 4 from the disturbing elements which are inside the wristwatch 1, for example, metallic masses such as the movement 7, the microreceptor 6 and the power supply battery 10.
  • the characteristics of the antenna 4 can be selected without considering the disturbing effects originating from the interior of the wristwatch 1.
  • One of the advantages of such an arrangement is that it allows the use of the same antenna with various watch movements.
  • FIG. 7 shows a third embodiment of the antenna of the timepiece of the invention.
  • This antenna 30 consists of a printed circuit conducting element 31 fixed on a dielectric substrate 32.
  • the substrate 32 is preferably made of a flexible material.
  • the element conductor 31 is preferably produced by a metallic deposit on the dielectric substrate 32.
  • a radiating slit 33 is formed in the conductive element 31.
  • this antenna is the dual of a conventional dipole antenna, such as the dipole formed by the conductive element 11
  • the radiating slot 33 forms the complement of a dipole.
  • the slot has a length of about ⁇ 2 , where ⁇ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic signal that the antenna is intended to receive.
  • connection between the antenna 30 and the transmission line 23 is assigned at two excitation points 34 and 35, respectively at mid-length and at opposite sides of the radiating slot 33. If necessary, the adaptation of the antenna 30 at the impedance of the transmission line 23 can be done using a capacitor connected between one of the excitation points and one of the conductors of the transmission line 23.
  • the antenna 30 is also located in the mounting groove 25 so that it is wound around the housing 5.
  • FIG. 8 shows a fourth embodiment of the antenna of the timepiece of the invention.
  • the antenna 40 consists of a conductive element 41 fixed to a dielectric substrate 42.
  • the latter is preferably made of a flexible material.
  • the conductive element 41 is preferably produced by a metallic deposit on the substrate 32, and defined by, a radiating slot 43 is formed in the ground plane 41. While the slot 33 is rectilinear, the slot 43 of the Figure 6 has the shape of a "V".
  • connection between the antenna 40 and the transmission line 23 is assigned at two excitation points 44 and 45 at opposite sides of the point of the "V" of the radiating slot 43.
  • the adaptation of the antenna 40 to the impedance of the transmission line 23 could also be done using a capacitor connected between one of the excitation points and a wire of the transmission line 23.
  • Such a form of slot makes it possible to position the excitation points 44 and 45 in the direction of the depth of the wristwatch 1 so that they are opposite the microreceptor 6.
  • the length of the transmission line which connects the antenna 40 to the microreceptor 6 can be minimized.
