  • Phase-shifting combiner for electromagnetic waves
    Patent number: 4961061
    Abstract: The invention relates to a phase-shifting combiner for electromagnetic waves, the combiner comprising at least one phase-shifting cell constituted by a hybrid coupler (12), an inlet transmission line (10), an outlet transmission line (11), and a loop transmission line (13) connected between the first inlet and the first outlet of the coupler (12), the inlet transmission line (10) being connected to the second inlet of the coupler and the outlet transmission line (11) being connected to the second outlet of the coupler. It is applicable, in particular, to telecommunications.

  • Band-pass filter for hyperfrequencies
    Patent number: 4731596
    Abstract: This highly reproducible stripline band-pass filter comprises, between its two leads (A and B), n halfwave resonators (1-7) connected in series. Suitable capacitors (C0-C7) provide a powerful coupling between the successive elements of the series circuit. Quarterwave resonators (10, 11, 70, 71) each having one end connected to the series circuit provide a steep-edge amplitude/frequency response at the limits of the pass-band of the hyperfrequency, wideband filter so obtained.
