Abstract
A device for a handle of a motor vehicle door. The device includes, integrated into the door, a primary module that supplies power by inductive coupling to a secondary module integrated into the handle. The primary module includes a primary coil and the secondary module having a secondary coil positioned facing the primary coil. The secondary coil also serves as a repeater for contactless communication between the primary module and a terminal. If the handle is retractable, the device also allows the position of the handle during its movement between a deployed position and a retracted position to be estimated.
