  • Patent number: 8537065
    Abstract: The invention concerns a system of antennas on the same support. Each antenna is connected to a first port for the emission/reception in a first frequency band, and to a second port for the emission/reception in a second frequency band. The invention consists in a specific dimensioning of the support, such that the difference of the perimetric lengths separating the median points is a function of the half wavelength ?/2 modulo k ?, k positive integer, where ? is the wavelength corresponding to a working frequency fr.

  • Publication number: 20110312276
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calibrating a terminal with a multi-sector antenna in a mesh broadcasting network that comprises at least one other terminal. The method includes: the selection of one sector of the terminal antenna to be calibrated, the reception by the selected sector, of identification signals transmitted by each of the other terminals present in the network, as well as the information on the received signal level; and the storage, for each sector, of different identification signals of the terminals present in the network, and of the information on received signal level, into the memory of the terminal to be calibrated.

  • Patent number: 8081135
    Abstract: The invention consists of an antenna array, for the reception of two frequency bands, comprising two pairs of radiating elements and an network for excitation of these elements for the reception of one of the bands. The radiating elements are positioned so as to free the center of the array to allow colocalized reception of the other band. The excitation network comprises hybrid elements so as to introduce a certain phase shift between the radiating elements allowing a dual circular polarization. This network must comply with two constraints: The phase shift introduced between the hybrids must be equal to the phase shift of the hybrid modulo 2 integer. and the length of the line L1 placed between the first hybrid H1 and the first patch PA1 is such that it introduces a phase shift equal to ? modulo 2 integer.

  • Patent number: 7418776
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing an antenna comprising a conductive wire, formed by a wire, made of a conductive material, whose path has a helical shape. In accordance with the invention, such a method is characterized in that a print is formed in relief on one side of an element of an electrically insulating material such that the helical shape is generated by depositing the conductive material in this print.
