  • Patent number: 8850698
    Abstract: A method is provided for the sealed assembly of an electronic housing containing one or more electronic components. The method includes: assembling the housing by bringing a support, to which the electronic components are fixed, in contact with a cover by means of a mixture-including a paste and nanoparticles in suspension in the paste. The size of the nanoparticles range from 10 to 30 nm. The housing is closed in a sealed manner by heating the housing to a temperature T of between 150° C. and 180° C. making it possible to sinter the metal nanoparticles, while subjecting the housing to a pressure greater than 2.5×105 Pa.

  • Publication number: 20120098617
    Abstract: A Wilkinson coupler mounted on a printed circuit comprises a first access port connected to a second access port and to a third access port by way of two metallic transmission lines of the same length and a load resistor mounted in short-circuit arrangement between the second and third access ports, characterized in that the load resistor is constituted of three adjacent independent resistors linked together. The coupler applies notably to the field of satellite antennas and more particularly to antenna beamforming arrays.

  • Patent number: 6188128
    Abstract: A monoblock structure comprises at least two stacked component levels, each component level comprising a layer of insulative material forming a component and encapsulation storey, at least one component and at least a first track a first end of which is connected to a connection point of the component. The structure further comprises at least one second track disposed laterally and a first end of which is connected to a second end of the first track. It additionally comprises a printed circuit forming a printed circuit storey and supporting at least one third track. A first end of the third track is coupled to a single input and/or output member one end of which is exposed on a face of the structure parallel to the component and printed circuit storeys and a second end of the third track is connected to a second end of the second track.
