  • Patent number: 9609740
    Abstract: The printed circuit with a multi-layer structure comprises: a first layer machined to form a spotface passing through the layer, a second layer comprising a first cavity passing through the layer, a third layer comprising, on one face, an electronic component that is in the first cavity, a fourth layer comprising a second cavity, a heat-conducting element with two parts: one made of metal, called a thermal cover, inserted into the spotface of the first layer so as to close, mechanically and electrically, the first cavity, the other made of a dielectric material with heat conduction >30 W/(m·K), placed in the first cavity so as to be in contact with the electronic component.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 10, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 28, 2017
    Assignee: THALES

  • Patent number: 8669811
    Abstract: A radio-frequency power amplifier with envelope tracking, comprising: a power RF amplifying device for amplifying a RF signal; and a switching DC/DC converter, comprising a switching device and a rectifying device, for providing said power RF amplifying device with a DC power supply at a voltage level proportional to an envelope of said RF signal; wherein said switching device is a RF power transistor; characterized in that said rectifying device, and preferably also said power RF amplifying device, is also a transistor of a same technology, connected as a two-terminal device. Preferably, said power RF amplifying device is also a transistor of said same technology. A low-pass filter can also be provided for reducing the bandwidth of the envelope signal on which the PWM signal driving the DC/DC converter depends.
