Abstract

An antenna circuit tunable to a determined resonance frequency, includes an antenna coil and adjustable components. The antenna circuit includes a filter having at least one point to tap an electric voltage the amplitude of which forms a pertinent indication for the tuning of the antenna circuit. To tune the antenna circuit, the adjustable components of the antenna circuit are adjusted so that the electric voltage has a determined amplitude.
