  • Patent number: 11271316
    Abstract: The invention relates to a wide-band omnidirectional antenna including at least a first conducting member and a second conducting member having a revolution symmetry about a common revolution axis and central openings, said members being arranged opposite each other, at least one member having a progressively flaring area, characterised in that it comprises a gap between the conducting members and a central coaxial excitation line so as to achieve a three-dimensional contactless transition between the coaxial excitation line and the conducting members and members for modifying the radiation pattern in the flaring area of the diode type for selectively radiating the gap depending on the on- or off-state of said diodes.

  • Patent number: 7804695
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an interconnection system of a first substrate (1) comprising at least one first transmission line (3) with a second substrate (10) comprising at least one second transmission line (11), the orientation of the first substrate with respect to the second substrate being arbitrary. The first substrate (1) comprises at least one metallized hole at one extremity of said first line and the second substrate (10) comprises a projecting element extending said second line and a ground saving, said projecting element being inserted into the metallized hole. The invention notably applies in the domain of microwaves and can interconnect a substrate comprising a printed antenna with a substrate receiving the processing circuits of the signal.

  • Patent number: 7746191
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an element of transition between a waveguide and a transition line on a substrate. The element of transition comprises a securing flange on the substrate, the flange being dimensioned so that at least, in the direction microstrip line, the width d of the flange is selected in such a manner as to shift the resonant modes away from the useful band. The invention is used particularly for circuits using SMD techniques at millimeter frequencies.

  • Publication number: 20100066622
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-sector antenna comprising N (N>1) planar antennas each constituted of a longitudinal radiation slot etched on a first substrate provided with a ground plane and supplied by an excitation line. The N first substrates are fixed on a second common substrate so that the radiation axis of each antenna is parallel to said second substrate, the N first substrates being interconnected around an axis perpendicular to the second substrate. The invention can be applied to high definition wireless cameras.
