Abstract
The electronic device (10) comprising a microcircuit (18) module (20), a near-field communication antenna (36) electrically connected to the microcircuit (18) of the module (20), delimiting an antenna surface (S), and a body (12) incorporating the module (20). More precisely, the antenna (36) is arranged within the module (20) and the body (12) incorporates means (40) of amplifying the gain of the antenna (36) comprising an electrically conductive element (42) electrically isolated from the microcircuit (18) and the antenna (36), of an annular general shape arranged around an area (R) of the body (12) forming a volume generated by the projection of the antenna surface (S) along a direction (Z) substantially orthogonal to the surface (S).
