1. An antenna circuit coupleable to a device of transmission/reception by inductive coupling, comprising:
- a first inductive element in parallel with a capacitive element;
a first dual purpose inductance coupled between a first node of the parallel association and a first terminal of a switch; and
a second dual purpose inductance coupled between a second node of the parallel association and a second terminal of the switch, the first and second dual purpose inductances configurable by the switch to cooperate as a second inductive element in the parallel association.
