Claims
- 1. An integrated circuit card comprising: a card body of insulating material in which there is embedded an antenna including a conductive track and having ends constituted by conductive layer forming connection terminals, and an integrated circuit module received in a cavity of the card body and provided with internal connection area connected to the connection terminals of the antenna, wherein at least one of the (i) connection terminals and (ii) the conductive track of the antenna has a plurality of perforations, the material surrounding the antenna extending through the perforations in the connection terminals.
- 2. An integrated circuit card, comprising:an insulating layer; and a conductive track disposed on said insulating layer and forming an antenna, wherein the conductive track has a plurality of perforations in which portions of the insulating layer are received within said perforations.
- 3. The integrated circuit card according to claim 2, wherein the plurality of perforations in the conductive track comprises an array of circular holes.
- 4. An integrated circuit card comprising:an insulating layer; and a conductive track disposed on said insulating layer and forming an antenna, wherein said conductive track comprises slots formed as strips in which portions of the insulating layer are received within said slots.
- 5. The integrated circuit card according to claim 4, wherein the slots have an undulating outline.
