Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080198086Planar Antenna With Conductive Studs Extending From The Ground Plane And/Or From At Least One Radiating Element, And Corresponding Production Method - The disclosure relates to a planar antenna comprising at least one radiator element separated from a ground plane by a dielectric. The antenna also comprises an assembly of conductive studs which is connected to and extends from at least one element of a group of elements comprising the ground plane and at least one radiator element in such a way that at least one physical dimension of said at least one radiator element for a determined resonance frequency is reduced.08-21-2008
20090213025Ultra-wideband antenna with excellent design flexibility - An ultra-wideband antenna includes a zone, an excitation means, and an adapting means. The zone is defined between first and second shaped surfaces such as to form a radiating element. The first and second shaped surfaces are also rotationally symmetrical in relation to a longitudinal axis of the antenna, and are disposed opposite one another in respect of a plane that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis and that contains a horizontal axis. The first and second shaped surfaces are configured to control the characteristics of an electromagnetic field in the zone such that the antenna has an essentially-constant gain in the frequency band along an azimuth plane. The excitation means is configured to supply a signal in a localised manner in a central region of the zone. The adapting means is configured to promote a localised coupling between the excitation means and the zone.08-27-2009
20090213562System for interconnecting two substrates each comprising at least one transmission line - The present invention relates to an interconnection system of a first substrate (08-27-2009
20100066622MULTI-SECTOR ANTENNA - The present invention relates to a multi-sector antenna comprising N (N>1) planar antennas each constituted of a longitudinal radiation slot etched on a first substrate provided with a ground plane and supplied by an excitation line. The N first substrates are fixed on a second common substrate so that the radiation axis of each antenna is parallel to said second substrate, the N first substrates being interconnected around an axis perpendicular to the second substrate. The invention can be applied to high definition wireless cameras.03-18-2010
20100097120Electronic Switching Device for High-Frequency Signals - The invention relates to an electronic switching device for high-frequency signals. The invention is of particular use in the connection between a microwave frequency antenna and an electronic circuit. This circuit comprises one or two access points designed to be connected to the antenna forming a third access point. In the case of a switch between one access point and the antenna (called an SPST switch), it comprises two switching diodes, one, called a serial diode, being connected in series between the access points and the other, called a shunt diode, between one of the access points and an earth of the device. According to the invention, a first transmission line is placed in series with the shunt diode, a second transmission line is placed in series with the serial diode, a third transmission line is placed at the common point of the first transmission line and of the shunt diode, a fourth transmission line is placed at the first access point, and a fifth transmission line is placed at the second access point. For a switch with three access points, two other diodes and four other transmission lines are added in a symmetrical manner relative to those already described. It is possible to obtain adapted lines having lengths much shorter than λ/4, which makes it possible to improve the compactness of the device while increasing its bandwidth.04-22-2010

20110215882Interconnect for High-Frequency Printed Circuit - The invention relates to a printed circuit for high-frequency signals, and more particularly to interconnect means between transmission lines situated on different faces of the printed circuit. According to the invention, in the vicinity of the interconnect means, the transmission lines each extend in a main direction. The interconnect means comprise two vias each extending along an axis. In a plane containing the main direction of a first of the transmission lines and perpendicular to the face bearing the first transmission line, an orthogonal fix is formed whose abscissa is borne by the main direction of the first transmission line. The abscissae of the axes of the vias or of their projection on the plane, perpendicularly to the plane, are separate.09-08-2011
20110217853Connection Device for High Frequency Signals Between a Connector and a Transmission Line - A connection device for high frequency signals includes a printed circuit on one external face of which is printed a transmission line and a coaxial connector surface mounted on the printed circuit on the external face. The invention is of particular use for the transmission of radiofrequency signals in the X band, in particular for frequencies from 9 to 10 GHz. The transmission line is connected to the connector by means of a bump contact belonging to the transmission line to which is attached a central core of the connector. The printed circuit comprises at least one internal ground plane parallel to the external face and contributing to the matching of the transmission line. The invention aims to improve the transparency of the transition between the connector and the transmission line. According to the invention, the internal ground plane is perforated by means of a resist facing the bump contact.09-08-2011
