  • Patent number: 9379455
    Abstract: An antenna circuit includes a first antenna tuned to a first fundamental frequency and a second antenna tuned to a second fundamental frequency different from the first fundamental frequency. A first filter has a first terminal connected to the first antenna and attenuates the frequency components outside of a band defined by the first fundamental frequency or its harmonics. A second filter has a first terminal coupled to the second antenna and attenuates the frequency components outside of a band defined by the second fundamental frequency or its harmonics. A passive recombination element couples the second terminals of the two filters to a common terminal.

  • Patent number: 8581412
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate. On at least one face of that substrate, integrated circuits are formed. At least one electromagnetic waveguide is also included, that waveguide including two metal plates that are placed on either side of at least one part of the thickness of the substrate and are located facing each other. Two longitudinal walls are placed facing each other and are formed by metal vias made in holes passing through the substrate in its thickness direction. The metal vias electrically connect the two metal plates.

  • Publication number: 20110109521
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a semiconductor component having a support substrate in the form of a wafer. On one side of this substrate integrated circuits including an RF circuit and an antenna connected to this RF circuit are formed. A metal layer is situated on the other side of the substrate, facing the antenna. At least on metal via is provided in a through-hole in the substrate, this via being connected at one end to the metal layer and at the other end to the RF circuit, at the same reference potential node as the antenna.
