  • Patent number: 9640970
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an overvoltage-protection device for protecting a high-frequency terminal from overvoltage. Overvoltages can be compensated by a coil arrangement, which includes coils electrically in series with different, increasing inductances. The end of the relatively thinner coil is connected to the high-frequency terminal of a circuit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8258889
    Abstract: A directional coupler for the directional transmission of high-frequency signals provides at least three lines and at least three ports. Two lines of the three lines are connected in a conductive manner at least at their ends. A third line is arranged between the two first lines and coupled to the latter in an electromagnetic manner. In this context, the high-frequency signal is transmitted from the third line to the first line and second line. The coupling is implemented via a coupling gap.

  • Patent number: 8049575
    Abstract: A directional coupler provides at least two coupled lines, at least three ports and at least one inductor. A high-frequency signal is transmitted from the first coupled line to the second coupled line. The circuit is constructed in stripline technology. In this context, the second coupled line provides a forward path and a return path, which are connected to a port. An inductor is connected in series to the return path.

  • Patent number: 7633158
    Abstract: An electronic component comprising at least two connection elements (2,7,8), each provided with at least one contact surface (13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 9, 10) which is used to fix the electronic component (1) to a surface of a printed circuit board. An at least partially plane cooling surface is formed on the first connection element (2), for placing on a cooling body that is oriented in the direction of the side of the electronic component (1) opposing the printed circuit board. The first connection element (2) has at least one raised area (3.1, 3.2, 3.3) on the side thereof facing the printed circuit board, on which the contact surface (13.1, 13.2, 13.1) of the first connection element (2) is formed. Said first connection element (2) also has at least one recessed area (4, 4?) in which the at least one other connection element (7, 7?; 8, 8?) is arranged.

  • Patent number: 7453327
    Abstract: A re-balancing device (1) comprising a line (12). Said line comprises a first pole (3) of a first conductor (2) and a first pole (6) a second conductor (5) on a first side (8), in addition to a second pole (7) of a first conductor (2) and a second pole (7) of a second conductor (5) on a second side. The second side (9) of the line (12) is connected to a network consisting of impedances and a symmetrical connection (Out), with a first end (10) and a second end (11). The first pole (3) of the first conductor (2) is directly guided to a reference potential (GR) and the two first poles (3,6) form an unsymmetrical connection (In). The second pole (4) of the first conductor (2) is connected to the first end (10) of the symmetrical connection (Out) and connected to the reference potential (GR) via the third impedance (x3).
