  • Patent number: 7388439
    Abstract: The electronic device (100) of the invention comprises a semiconductor device (30) and a low-pass filter (20), which are present in a stacked configuration, and which together include a phase locked loop. The low-pass filter is preferably embodied by vertical trench capacitors, and preferably comprises a drift compensation part. The device (100) can be suitably provided in an open loop architecture. In a preferred embodiment, the low-pass filter comprises a large capacitor (C2) and a small capacitor (C1) connected in parallel, the large capacitor (C2) being connected in series with a resistor (R1).

  • Patent number: 5708444
    Abstract: A multipatch antenna including radiating patches (2) positioned on a dielectric sheet (1). The patches (2) are capacitively fed by probes (7) ending in the dielectric sheet (1) near the patches (2). By positioning the probes (7) near selected edges of the radiating patches (2), a selected polarization direction of the radiation field can be realized. By positioning several probes (7) near a radiating patch (2), a radiation field with an adjustable polarization direction or a radiation field with an extremely low cross-polarization can be obtained.
