- the tabs 24 of the housing are positioned on the housing cover 10 so that they are introduced into the first slots 22 when the electrical card 2 and the antenna support 1 are integrated in the housing 10. This situation corresponds to the tabs 24 shown in dashed lines in FIG. 6.
- the tabs strike the antenna 3 and prevent the correct positioning of the housing cover 10.
- the antenna support 1 further comprises means for adjusting the position of the antenna 3 on the electrical card 2, which are located at the lower part 7 of the antenna support 1.
- position of the antenna here means the position of the antenna along an edge 26 of the electrical card 2, regardless of the orientation of the antenna.
- adjustment means comprise a slide 25 cooperating with the edge 26 of the electrical card 2 when the antenna support 1 is mounted on the card 2.
- This slide 25 comprises a support plane 27, in this case formed by an upper face of the base 8 of the antenna support 1, and a counter-support plane 28.
- This slide 25 makes it possible to modify the position of the antenna support 1 when it is mounted on the electrical card 2 by making slide the antenna support 1 along the edge 26, and thus makes it possible to modify the position of the antenna support 1.
- the counter-support plane 28 is provided with a first chamfer 32 intended to facilitate the insertion of the edge 26 of the electrical card 2 in the slide 25 when the antenna support 1 is mounted on the electrical card 2.
- the antenna support 1 further comprises means for fixing the antenna support 1 on the electrical card 2 for fixing the antenna support 1 when its position along the edge 26 of the electrical card 2 is defined.
- the fastening means comprise two flexible lugs 29 each provided with a fixing pin 30 which extend in the extension of the bearing plane 27 of the slideway 25.
- a fixing position of the antenna support 1 is defined on the electrical card 2 by fixing holes 31 made for this purpose on the electrical board 2.
- each flexible tab 29 is provided with a second chamfer 34 for facilitating the insertion of the edge 26 of the electrical card 2 in the slide 25.
- the antenna support 1 When the antenna support 1 is mounted on the electrical card 2 and is not in a fixing position, the flexible tabs 29 tilt due to the action of the electrical card 2 on the fixing pins 30 of the flexible tabs 29, which makes it possible to slide the antenna support 1 along the edge 26 of the electrical card 2.
- the fixing pins 30 are accommodated in the fixing holes 31 which makes it possible to fix the antenna support 1 on the electrical card 2.
- the antenna support 1 comprises two protuberances 33 situated in the extension of the base of the antenna support 1. These protuberances 33 make it possible to fix the antenna support 1 on a possibly different element of an electrical card, for example on a mechanical element located in the bottom of the housing 10 and provided for this purpose. To ensure the attachment of the antenna support 1, the protuberances 33 cooperate for example with slides or with a clipping system or can receive screws.

- the pellets 35 and the parallel tracks 36 are thus in contact when the antenna support is mounted on the electrical card 2 and the antenna 3 is thus electrically connected to the electrical card 2. It can therefore change the position of the antenna support l and even slide the antenna support while maintaining this electrical connection (provided that the pellets 35 remain in contact with the tracks 36).
- the antenna support 1, is particularly well suited to define the placement of an antenna 3 intended to be connected to an electrical card 2.
- placement here is meant both the orientation of the antenna 3 and the position of the antenna 3 on the card 2, the term "position” being understood as defined above.
- the method of placing an antenna 3 of the invention first comprises the step of installing the antenna 3 in a housing 11, 15 of the antenna support
- the adapted to accommodate the antenna 3 in a preferred orientation said preferred orientation having for example been defined following a study phase.
- the placement method then comprises the step of mounting the antenna support 1, the on the electrical board
- the placement method then comprises the step of performing a radio measurement to evaluate a parameter representative of the quality of the placement of the antenna 3.
- This radio measurement consists for example of measuring an electric field at a certain frequency to evaluate the quality transmission of the antenna 3 at this certain frequency.
- the placement method finally comprises the step of modifying the position of the antenna support 1, on the edge 26 of the electrical card 2 to improve the parameter in question, so that the system formed by the electrical card 2 and the antenna 3 operates satisfactorily.
- the orientation of the antenna 3 may also be modified by installing it in another housing 11, 15 to improve said parameter.
- the placement method of the invention may be used during a pre-test phase to the design of the circuit board of the electrical board, so as to define the definitive placement of the antenna relative to the board.
- the placement method of the invention can also be used during the method of manufacturing a card electrical 2 of the invention.
- This manufacturing method consists in providing for freezing the position of the antenna 3 after the printed circuit of the electrical card 2 has been manufactured.
- the placement method of the invention thus comprises first of all the steps of manufacturing the printed circuit and mounting the electronic components 4 of the electrical card 2 on the printed circuit.
- the placement method then comprises the step of placing the antenna 3 using the placement method according to the preceding claim. Once the optimal placement of the antenna 3 is defined, the antenna support 1, 1 is fixed on the electrical card 2 by making holes 31 in the electrical card 2 to accommodate the fastening pins 30 of the flexible tabs 29 of the antenna support 1.
- these orifices 31 are here located outside the border plane of the printed circuit of the electrical card 2. The drilling of these orifices 31 therefore does not alter the printed circuit and therefore does not require carrying out tests of additional qualification on the printed circuit board.
- the described antenna support is equipped with two housings adapted to accommodate the antenna
- the invention applies to supports equipped with a different number of housing.
- the invention also applies to an antenna of different shape, used in any type of radio communication (protocol, frequency, etc.).
- the means for adjusting the position of the antenna on the card here comprise a slideway for modifying the position of the support and therefore the antenna on the card
- the means for adjusting the position of the antenna. antenna could also be located directly on the support.
- the support could for example be provided with a device of the movable drawer type carried by the lower part of the support and accommodating the antenna. In such a configuration, the support could then be fixedly mounted relative to the electrical card, the position of the antenna being modified by sliding of the movable drawer on the support.
