  • Publication number: 20230103032
    Abstract: A microcircuit integrating a waveguide with a rectangular cross-section, the microcircuit including a first chip and a second chip assembled on each other, the waveguide being located in a junction zone between chips and extending in parallel to the chips, the waveguide including a first conductive plate located on the side of the first chip and parallel to the first chip, and a second conductive plate, located on the side of the second chip and parallel to the second chip, the waveguide being laterally delimited on one and the other side of the waveguide by one or more electrical connecting elements electrically connecting the first chip to the second chip.

  • Publication number: 20220359982
    Abstract: A transmitarray cell (105) comprises a first antenna element (105a) adapted to switching between two phase states, a second antenna element (105b) adapted to switching between two other phase states and between two circular polarization directions and a coupler (201) coupling the first antenna element to the second antenna element.

  • Patent number: 11489256
    Abstract: A transmit-array collimating assembly, this collimating assembly being able to convert a first electromagnetic wave radiated from a first focal point and in a first frequency band, into a plane electromagnetic wave of same frequency radiated in a preset first direction, and to convert a second electromagnetic wave radiated from a second focal point and in a second frequency band, into a plane electromagnetic wave of same frequency radiated in the same preset first direction, first and second primary radiating elements solely connected to first and second output ports of a transmitting module, respectively. The first and second primary radiating elements are positioned so as to radiate the first and second electromagnetic waves from the first and second focal points, respectively.

  • Patent number: 10879577
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a multilayer electromagnetic waveguide that includes a plurality of layers forming guide channels for an electromagnetic wave, and at least one transition device including at least one dielectric layer between two guide channels, referred to as coupled guide channels, extending as an extension. Each transition device includes at least one adaptation channel extending in a longitudinal direction, and each adaptation channel is defined by two electrically conductive walls. At least one wall extends along the dielectric spacer layer from one end of the coupled guide channel, over a length suitable for optimizing the transmission of an electromagnetic wave between the two coupled guide channels.
