  • Publication number: 20230198163
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a radio frequency antenna (10) including an antenna array (12) operating at one wavelength and comprising: a powered dipole (14A) connected at an access point (15) to a radio frequency transmitter generating or receiving a wave at the wavelength, at least one coupled dipole (14C1, 14C2, 14C3) connected at an access point to a respective load (Z1, Z2, Z3), the powered dipole (14A) and each coupled dipole (14C1, 14C2, 14C3) including two strands extending from the access point (15), the access points (15) being arranged so as to form a polygon, the first strand of a dipole (14) extending along the second strand of a neighboring dipole (14) at a distance less than one tenth of the wavelength.

  • Patent number: 11532888
    Abstract: A monopole wire-plate antenna that is reconfigurable in a frequency range of operation, comprising: a ground plane (1); a capacitive roof (2); a probe feed (3), which is electrically insulated from the ground plane (1), and which extends between the ground plane (1) and the capacitive roof (2) so as to electrically feed the capacitive roof (2); at least one shorting wire (4), which is arranged to electrically connect the capacitive roof (2) to the ground plane (1), and which is coated in a magneto-dielectric material (5) having a complex magnetic permeability, which varies as a function of a static magnetic field applied to the magneto-dielectric material (5).

  • Publication number: 20220231417
    Abstract: The invention relates to a directional antenna network adapted to operate in at least one predetermined frequency band, which comprises at least one pair of metal antennas (8,10) formed by a first metal antenna and a second metal antenna, the second metal antenna being sequentially rotated by a predetermined angle of rotation relative to the first metal antenna, a load circuit (6), with each metal antenna connected to said load circuit, and a monopole antenna (12), having a central position in the antenna network, connected to said load circuit (6). The metal antennas and the monopole antenna are arranged on a ground plane (4) and coupled, with the load circuit (6) being parameterized to provide radiation in which the monopole antenna (12) has a destructive contribution of a magnetic transverse radiation mode, whereby radiation by said at least one pair of metal antennas of selected circular polarization is obtained.

  • Patent number: 11158947
    Abstract: This antenna includes: a ground plane; a capacitive roof, parallel with the ground plane; a supply probe, which is electrically isolated from the ground plane and runs between the ground plane and the capacitive roof so as to supply the capacitive roof with electricity, the supply probe being intended to be connected to a transmission line; a set of shorting wires, which are arranged in parallel around the supply probe such that each shorting wire electrically connects the capacitive roof to the ground plane, each shorting wire being coated with a magneto-dielectric material.
