Marc Sauvage has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6583683
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for rotating through a predefined angle the polarization of a polarized electromagnetic wave propagating in a first waveguide. According to the invention, the device comprises a second waveguide having a lateral port, the polarized electromagnetic wave propagates between a port of the first waveguide and the lateral port of the second waveguide via a coupling orifice that is smaller than the cross-section of the first waveguide and whose geometry is adapted to provide electromagnetic coupling between the first waveguide and the second waveguide, and the other port of the second waveguide is on a face perpendicular to the lateral port.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4980662
    Abstract: A multiplexed microwave filter comprising at least two elementary filters (10, 11) provided with respective coupling antennas of crankshaft or any other shape, and including a common access (14), which access is provided with a crankshaft-shaped coupling antenna which is rotatable about its axis in order to adjust coupling between the antenna and the corresponding elementary filter, in which the common access is situated astride the various elementary filters and includes as many crankshaft-shaped antennas (22, 23) as there are elementary filters (10, 11).

  • Patent number: 4746883
    Abstract: The microwave bandpass filter in the form of a cutoff frequency waveguide (1) or evanescent mode guide, being besides tunable within a range of frequencies and having at least one terminal (21, 22) of the coaxial type, has terminals each equipped with a crank-shaped coupling antenna (15) operable to be rotated about its longitudinal axis for filter tuning purposes.

  • Patent number: 4620168
    Abstract: A tunable hyperfrequency elimination band filter forms a coaxial line having a rectangular cross-section external conductor enclosing a rectangular cross-section internal conductor which is substantially co-axial therewith. A plurality of cylindrical resonators are mounted on an interior face of the external conductor. The width of the internal conductor is reduced in areas adjacent to each resonator. The resonators are cylindrically shaped and constructed of a dielectric material. Each resonator is mounted to the interior face by means of dielectric screws which may be adjusted to cause the central frequency of the filter to be tuned. Hyperfrequency absorbent material may be placed on the interior walls in areas opposite the resonators.
