Abstract: A dual-band analogue filter that is passing for IFF signals and ADS-B signals in a first and a second frequency band, and to reject signals received outside these bands, implemented using multi-planar technology, and comprising, in succession: a layer comprising an input port and an output port, a layer comprising a ground plane having openings facing the input port and the output port, a layer comprising N band-pass resonators, a layer comprising N band-stop resonators, arranged such that: the band-pass resonators are connected in pairs by coupling, the first and the last band-pass resonator are connected to the input port and the output port by electromagnetic coupling, each band-pass resonator is connected to a band-stop resonator by electromagnetic coupling.

Abstract: A radiating phase-shifting cell is designed to favour the excitation of an equivalent resonance of the “slot” type in a first part of the phase cycle, and to favour an equivalent resonance of the “microstrip” type in a second part of the phase cycle. This property notably allows the bandwidth of the phase-shifting cells to be optimized. A phase range of 360° can in effect be segmented into two sub-ranges of around 180°. This segmentation into two sub-ranges is made possible by the complementarity of the resonant modes of the slot or microstrip type. The radiating phase-shifting cell is notably applicable to reflector arrays for an antenna designed to be installed on a space craft such as a telecommunications satellite or on a terrestrial terminal for satellite telecommunications or broadcasting systems.
