Patent number: 10326191Abstract: A spatial power combiner includes several inputs to which are respectively linked a plurality of transmission lines, and an output. A body defines a cavity and the plurality of transmission lines pass longitudinally through the cavity and are disposed around an absorbent member also extending longitudinally in the cavity. A power amplification set includes the spatial power combiner and an amplification structure at the input of the spatial power combiner.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignees: MICROWAVE CHARACTERIZATION CENTER, UNIVERSITE SCIENCES TECHNOLOGIES LILLE, COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVESInventors: Hadrien Theveneau, Matthieu Werquin, Christophe Gaquière

Publication number: 20160139258Abstract: The present invention provides a portable imaging device 1 comprising a housing 2 and a microwave sensor 3 mounted in the housing 2. The device 1 also comprises first connection means for connecting the imaging device 1 to movement measuring means 4, and second connection means for connecting the imaging device 1 to a processor unit 5. During movement of the housing 2, the processor unit 5 is configured to act in iterative manner to form a microwave image by: detecting a determined movement of the detection zone of the sensor 3; adding an additional pixel to the microwave image, which pixel is positioned relative to the preceding pixel as a function of said detected movement; and giving said additional pixel a value of the signal of the sensor. The invention also provides an imaging system including such an imaging device 1 and a corresponding imaging method.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2014Publication date: May 19, 2016Inventors: Nicolas VELLAS, Nicolas THOUVENIN, Christophe GAQUIERE, Sylvain JONNIAU, Florent CLEMENCE, Matthieu WERQUIN

Patent number: 7936233Abstract: The invention concerns a coaxial automatic impedance adaptor characterized in that it comprises two slugs and has only a lateral translational movement along an axis Ox. The double slug tuner principle is based on the movement of two line segments of different characteristics of 50 O inside a closed cylinder on either side of standard connectors.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2006Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignees: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique - CRNS, Universite des Sciences et Technologies de Lille - USTLInventors: Nicolas Vellas, Christophe Gaquière, Frédéric Bue, Damien Ducatteau
