  • Degrees of freedom can be advantageously introduced into the assemblies to both facilitate the storage of the accessory and allow optimization of the orientation settings.
  • the use of flexible and / or articulated elements makes the accessory and / or the system that it constitutes with the electronic device to which it is connected less fragile. Indeed, systems consisting of deformable elements are less fragile in that they can undergo the effect of external forces without irreversible damage.

  • the at least one other antenna can be of the same type or of a different type.
  • Planar antenna means an antenna consisting of a plurality of individual surface elements which are arranged in the air or on a suitable solid dielectric in the same plane to form a composite antenna, for example an antenna called “quad” or an antenna called “patch” in English language. These antennas furthermore require respectively a metal reflector and a ground plane.
  • the wired or surface elements can implement simple geometries or complex geometries such as so-called space-filling solutions, without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • Space filling solutions such as those based on fractal mathematics proposed by the company Fractus SA, make it possible to obtain, all things being equal, in particular for equal wavelengths, more compact dimensions than with traditional geometries.
  • At least one irremovable antenna of the device is deployable.
  • Deployable means any solution for differentiating a state of the system according to the invention less cumbersome for transport or storage of a more bulky state in use.

Indeed it is difficult and expensive to implement a solution to establish a deployable link and continuously adapted whatever the scale of the deployment. In practice, the intermediate positions of the deployment are of little interest and the performances are generally maximum at the maximum of the deployment, when the antennas are furthest away from each other and sources of noise that are the electronic subassemblies of the digital devices.
