Transmitting and/or receiving unit for incorporation into an elastic structure
First Claim
1. A transmitting/receiving unit for mounting in an elastic structure wherein stresses and forces develop and act in main directions when said elastic structure is subjected to load, said transmitting/receiving unit comprising:
- an electronic circuit;
at least one antenna connected to said electronic circuit;
said antenna including at least one elastically or plastically deformable filament defining a filament axis and surrounded by said elastic structure; and
, said filament being disposed in a plane or in space so that said main directions intersect or cross said filament axis.

Abstract
The invention is directed to a transmitting and/or receiving unit for building into an elastic structure. The transmitting and receiving unit includes one or more electronic circuits or circuit elements and, if needed, sensors and/or signal elements assigned thereto. The transmitting and/or receiving unit has one or several antennas connected to the electronic circuit. The antenna includes one or several filaments which are so arranged in the surface or in space that the main directions of the stresses and forces, which occur within the surrounding elastic structure/matrix, essentially intersect or cross the filament axes.
