  • Single-pole double-throw switch with no single failure point
    Patent number: 7068123
    Abstract: A single-pole double-throw switch comprises an input line portion and two output line portions connected to the input line portion at a branch point and defining with the input line portion two propagation channels for electromagnetic signals reaching the branch point via the input line portion. Each output line portion includes a two-state electronic component constituting either a substantially open circuit or a substantially short circuit as a function of the application of an appropriate command and being in one of these two states in the absence of a command. The two identical electronic components are each disposed in series in or in parallel with one of the two output line portions.

  • Microwave equalizer suitable for aerospace applications
    Patent number: 5235295
    Abstract: A microwave equalizer is used in aerospace applications to correct the gain/frequency response of a microwave system, in particular in a given range of temperatures. To obtain a variation opposite to that of the microwave system by introducing absorption at the operating frequency, it comprises at least one microwave coupler one branch of which has an active device fitted at each of its two ends so that variation in the device parameters enables displacement of the absorption frequency and optionally power. The coupler(s) are coupled to a transmission line of the system and a control circuit.

  • Multipactor effect measurement device using phase noise
    Patent number: 5180985
    Abstract: A device for measuring a multipactor effect in microwave systems includes a first coupler, a vacuum enclosure where a sample under test is enclosed, and a second coupler, all in series between an input which receives incident power and an output which delivers output power. The device also includes a mixer operated as a phase detector having a first input connected to an output of the first coupler to sample part of the input power via a first attenuator and a phase-shifter and a second input connected to an output of the second coupler to sample a part of the output power via a second attenuator. The output of the mixer is connected to a noise measuring device.
