Abstract:
A radiofrequency transmitting device delivers output signals having a chosen radiofrequency from input data split up into complementary phase data and amplitude data. This device includes a radiofrequency reference oscillator for outputting a reference signal having a fixed radiofrequency reference, and a digital phase modulator for synthesizing the chosen radiofrequency from the fixed radiofrequency reference and for phase modulating the reference signal with the phase data, in order to produce an output signal having the chosen radiofrequency.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for forming a carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bond by reacting an unsaturated compound carrying a leaving group and a nucleophilic compound, in the absence of a ligand. The aim of the invention is especially to form carbon-nitrogen bonds according to a method for the arylation of nitrogenated organic derivatives. According to the inventive method, a carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bond is formed by reacting an unsaturated compound carrying a leaving group with a nucleophilic compound donating a carbon atom or a heteroatom (HE) that can substitute the leaving group, thus forming a C—C or C—HE bond, in the presence of a copper-based catalyst and a base. Said metal is characterised in that the reaction takes place in the absence of a ligand and in a nitrile-type solvent.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of creating a carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom linkage by reacting an unsaturated compound bearing a leaving group and a nucleophilic compound. More specifically, the invention relates to the creation of a carbon-nitrogen linkage involving the arylation of nitrogenous organic derivatives. The inventive method consists in creating a carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom linkage by reacting an unsaturated compound bearing a leaving group and a nucleophilic compound providing a carbon atom or a heteroatom (HE) capable of being substituted for the leaving group, thereby creating a C—C or C-HE linkage. The invention is characterised in that the reaction is carried out in the presence of an effective quantity of a catalyst based on copper and at least one ligand comprising at least one imine function and at least one additional nitrogen atom as chelating atoms
Abstract:
The invention relates to an oscillator OSC intended to provide an output signal having a frequency which is variable as a function of a tuning voltage Vtun. The oscillator OSC includes a passive part having two series-arranged variable capacitances Cs, biased by the tuning voltage Vtun, and connected to a power supply VCC via two inductances Lext, and an active part having a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2 whose collectors are connected to the output terminals C1 and C2 of the passive part, the base of one transistor being connected to the collector of the other transistor via a coupling capacitor Cfb. According to the invention, the passive part includes two high-pass filters, each being inserted between one of the output terminals S1 or S2 and one of the variable capacitances Cs, which allows a reduction of the active part's sensitivity to low-frequency noise.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit includes a variable-gain amplifier having a first transistor with a load arranged as an inverted and controlled by a first signal of a first frequency, and also having a branch comprising a capacitance in series with a transistor which is arranged as a variable resistance and whose impedance is modulated by a second signal of a second frequency. In this circuit the variable-gain amplifier comprises a second transistor with a load arranged as an inverter and disposed in series with the first transistor and its load between this load and a d.c. supply, in such a manner that the two inverter transistors share the same current, the second inverter being controlled by the output of the first inverter, and the impedance modulated by the second signal is coupled to a node between the load of the first inverter transistor and the second inverter transistor in order to modulate the gain of the latter.
Abstract:
Phase shifter to which are applied two signals in a phase opposition (v, -v) is constituted by a first series circuit of a resistor and a capacitor (R.sub.1, C.sub.1), and a second series circuit of a resistor and a capacitor (R.sub.2, C.sub.2). So that neither the relative amplitudes nor the relative phases of all the signals used at the outputs (5, 6, 7, 8) are degraded by the impedance of the stages that follow, the phase shifter includes a first network of a resistor and a capacitor connected in parallel (C.sub.3, R.sub.3), and a second network of a resistor and a capacitor connected in parallel (C.sub.4, R.sub.4). Both the four resistors and the four capacitors of the phase shifter are each substantially equal in value.
