Abstract

Un tampon de réactance (218) maintient une fréquence de résonance sensiblement constante destinée à une antenne-cadre (200) de dimension réglable ayant des premier (202) et deuxième (204) segments d'antenne. Chaque segment comporte des premières (206, 208) et deuxièmes (212, 214) extrémités, les premières extrémités (206, 208) étant couplées à un récepteur, et les deuxièmes extrémités (212, 214) permettant le réglage des dimensions du cadre. Le tampon de réactance (218) comprend une entrée (206) couplée à la deuxième extrémité du premier (202) segment d'antenne. Une pluralité de prises (T1-T7) sont disposées linéairement le long d'une structure intégrée, la structure présentant une surface sensiblement plane, et ayant entre les prises le plus à l'extérieur une longueur prédéterminée correspondant au réglage dimensionnel nécessaire de l'antenne-cadre. Les prises (T1-T7) constituent des sorties de tampon de réactance sélectionnables en vue du couplage avec la deuxième extrémité du deuxième (204) segment d'antenne. Une pluralité d'éléments de réactance (302, ..., 320) assurent le couplage de l'entrée (206) du tampon de réactance avec chacune de la pluralité de prises (T1-T7) et permettent la mesure d'une réactance sensiblement constante entre l'entrée (206) du tampon de réactance et chacune des prises (T1-T7).
