Abstract
The invention relates to an antenna comprising: a first electroconductive surface; a second electroconductive surface which forms a ground plane and is parallel to the first; a first electroconductive feed belt or wire connecting a first terminal of a generator/receiver to the first surface, the second surface being connected to the second terminal of the generator/receiver, and at least one second electroconductive wire or ribbon connecting said two surfaces. The antenna is characterized in that the first surface comprises a blank, or a series of blanks, each blank optionally consisting of mutually extending sections. Said blank(s) extend in the vicinity of and along part of the edge of the first surface 2 which is broad enough for the blank(s) to define an inner area of the first surface by substantially forming a majority of the periphery of this area, thereby obtaining a multi-frequency wire-plate operation.
