Abstract:
A smart card including a card body having a metal layer including a recess area which opens onto a peripheral edge of the metal layer, an RF chip, a first RF antenna connected to the RF chip and disposed in or facing the recess area, and a second RF antenna electrically insulated from the metal layer and from the first RF antenna. The second RF antenna includes a first antenna part extending facing the metal layer to collect an image current induced by first eddy currents flowing in the metal layer, and a second antenna part electrically connected to the first antenna part and extending facing the recess area to allow a magnetic coupling between the first RF antenna and the second RF antenna.
