Abstract:
A connection device for high frequency signals includes a printed circuit on one external face of which is printed a transmission line and a coaxial connector surface mounted on the printed circuit on the external face. The invention is of particular use for the transmission of radiofrequency signals in the X band, in particular for frequencies from 9 to 10 GHz. The transmission line is connected to the connector by means of a bump contact belonging to the transmission line to which is attached a central core of the connector. The printed circuit comprises at least one internal ground plane parallel to the external face and contributing to the matching of the transmission line. The invention aims to improve the transparency of the transition between the connector and the transmission line. According to the invention, the internal ground plane is perforated by means of a resist facing the bump contact.
Abstract:
Using a radar to detect a known target likely to be positioned at approximately a predetermined height close to other targets, these other targets also being positioned at approximately the predetermined height. A first phase of detecting the known target is carried out by performing an azimuth scan. When the known target has been detected at a certain distance Di at a certain azimuth angle θaz, a second detection phase is carried out at said azimuth angle θaz and at an elevation angle θEL corresponding to that of an object situated at said distance Di at the predetermined height. The target is said to be detected if it is detected at the elevation angle θEL at a distance D approximately equal to the distance Di.

Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and a device for the removal of ambiguity in distance. The method computes the distance of the targets detected by the radar using several estimation functions (21, 22, 23). When the estimation functions give substantially the same result, the targets are defined as being in the field of non-ambiguous distances and when the estimation functions give different results, the targets are defined as being in the domain of ambiguous distances. Application especially to frequency-shift keying, continuous-wave radar for automobile traffic control.
