  • Patent number: 9941562
    Abstract: A microwave-frequency filtering structure includes two dielectric layers separated by a conducting layer that is etched in the pattern of a filter, the upper and lower exterior faces of the stack being covered over the larger part of their surface by a conducting plane constituting ground planes of the structure, which are interlinked by a metallization of the periphery of the structure; two identical devices, an input and an output transition device, each allowing the passage from a microstrip mode to a stripline mode and vice versa, configured so that the geometry of the transition device is optimized to minimize the standing wave ratios at the ports of the filter, and to minimize the excitation and the coupling of the TE10 mode, two conducting pillars perpendicular to the plane of the structure and situated close to its principal axis, without being coupled with the filter, and linking the upper and lower ground planes.

  • Patent number: 9088060
    Abstract: For associating different technologies of a microstrip line and of a rectangular waveguide, for example on a ceramic, in a transition device including a mode transformer between the line integrated into a printed circuit board, and the waveguide, the board includes a housing containing the waveguide with a large sidewall coplanar and coaxial to the strip of the line and another large sidewall fixed onto a metallic layer of the board at the bottom of the housing. A linking metallic element bridges a mechanical tolerance gap between the transformer and one of the line and the waveguide. The transformer can be integrated into the board, or into the waveguide in a microwave component.
