  • Patent number: 12567662
    Abstract: A UWB band pass filter that is formed by a circuit board. The circuit board includes a first dielectric layer made of a dielectric substrate, a filter structure made of electrically conductive material, on a first side of the first dielectric layer, a first ground layer made of electrically conductive material, on a second side of the first dielectric layer. The filter structure has an input terminal and an output terminal between which a line extends that includes multiple first line sections and second line sections, and wherein the filter structure has multiple stubs that are situated between the first line sections and that branch off from the second line sections. The first line sections and the stubs are situated in parallel. The longitudinal line of the middle first line sections is inserted, from which two open stubs that are rotationally symmetrical about the middle first line sections branch off.

  • Patent number: 12506265
    Abstract: A communication device for determining a position of a communication partner, wherein the communication device has a first circular antenna, at least one further circular antenna, a circuit board, and a communication module situated at the circuit board. The circuit board includes at least one first copper layer and a second copper layer. The first antenna has a first recess that is formed in the first copper layer, a first ground plane, and a first excitation structure. The at least one further antenna has a further recess that is formed in the first copper layer, a further ground plane, and a further excitation structure. The first ground plane is spaced apart from the further ground plane to electromagnetically decouple the first antenna from the at least one further antenna.
