  • Patent number: 12641713
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a connector is mechanically configurable between a wireless radio frequency transmission and a wired radio frequency transmission via a cylindrical dielectric radio frequency waveguide. The connector includes: a first package assembled to a printed circuit board provided with a radio frequency antenna; and a second package configured to be assembled to the waveguide, wherein the second package is configured to be removably assembled to the first package in the wired radio frequency transmission configuration and is separated from the first package in the wireless radio frequency transmission configuration.

  • Patent number: 12132495
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns an electronic device connected to an antenna. The electronic device delivers a first amplitude-modulated analog signal of a signal captured by the antenna, the capture signal associated with an electromagnetic field exhibiting intervals at a minimum level. The electronic device includes a first circuit, a second circuit, and a third circuit. The first circuit delivers a second analog signal by rectification and filters the first analog signal. The second circuit delivers a first binary signal based on the demodulation of the second analog signal. The third circuit couples the antenna to a resistor during each pause. The resistance value of the resistor depends on the maximum amplitude of the electromagnetic field before the pause.
