The handle is formed as an elongated body which has first and second end sections and a grip section disposed in the middle of the handle between the end sections. Bearing sections of the first and second end sections extend into the handle mount and are supported therein. An antenna with a control circuitry is a disposed in an inner hollow chamber in the handle. The control circuitry has signal lines which go to the handle mount. The antenna is configured as a high frequency antenna for signal transmission in the high frequency range. The control circuitry is coupled to the antenna for transmitting and receiving. The antenna is received outside the grip section in an end section of the handle.
