  • Patent number: 8405553
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a very compact antenna system with a diversity order of 2. An antenna system with a diversity order of 2 integrated on an electronic card comprising a first radiating element of F-inverted type with a first extremity connected to a ground plane, a second extremity free and a conductive power supply part, a second radiating element of F-inverted type with a first extremity connected to a ground plane, a second extremity free and a conductive power supply part, characterized in that the free extremities of the first and second radiating elements are opposite one another and are separated by a projecting element of the ground plane. Application in electronic cards for multi-standard communication devices.

  • Patent number: 8063719
    Abstract: A printed wiring board having at least one connector includes a dielectric substrate that has, on a first face, a first ground plane, and on a second face, at least two transmission lines between which the connector and a footprint are mounted. The footprint includes a first element positioned between the two transmission lines under the connector. The first element forming with the first ground plane, a capacitive element and, at each extremity of the first element, second elements forming with the first element, a self-inductive and capacitive element. The second elements each extending by a second ground plane, the second ground planes which are connected to the first ground plane.

  • Publication number: 20080290967
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a board receiving at least one connector, said board being constituted by a dielectric substrate comprising, on a first face, a first ground plane and on a second face, at least two transmission lines between which the connector and a footprint are mounted, characterized in that the footprint comprises a first element positioned between the two transmission lines under the connector, said first element forming with the first ground plane, a capacitive element and, at each extremity of the first element, second elements forming with the first element, a self-inductive and capacitive element, said second elements each extending by a second ground plane, the second ground planes being connected to the first ground plane. The invention applies notably to printed circuit boards with integrated test connectors.
