Abstract

Tuning an antenna circuit that includes an inductance of a resonance circuit, and a component having a component impedance. The antenna circuit includes multiple connection areas for connecting the component to the antenna circuit At least two of the multiple of connection areas are part of the resonance circuit. The tuning can be performed by selecting at least one connection area for the component among the at least two of the multiple connection areas
