Zusammenfassung:An antenna feeder for feeding a slot or patch antenna integrated within an electronic device having a metallic two-parts housing in which is formed the slot or patch, and a PCB is described. The antenna feeder is an electrically conducting element different from the PCB and includes: a central part configured to be held mechanically by a dielectric support having inside the housing; a first extending part, extending from a first end of the central part towards the PCB, and integrating a first spring portion allowing the first extending part to be in electrical contact with the PCB; and a second extending part, extending from a second end of the central part and allowing for controlling the impedance of the antenna feeder. At least one of the central part, first extending part and second extending part is configured for electromagnetically coupling the antenna feeder with the slot or patch.
