Patent ID: 7068236

Claim:
A phasing element intended for inserting a variable lag in the transmission of an electric signal by variation of the electric path travelled by said signal in the phasing element, characterised in that it includes: an input transmission line ( 2 ) and an output transmission line ( 3 ), said transmission lines ( 2 , 3 ) being printed lines and being placed in order not to be coupled radioelectrically to one another, at the surface of a main printed circuit ( 4 ), a mobile radioelectric coupling means ( 5 ) input ( 2 ) and output ( 3 ) transmission lines, said coupling means comprising a first ( 6 ) and a second arm ( 7 ), the electric path shows a variation range between a first position where the first and second arm ( 6 , 7 ) cover respectively and entirely the input and output transmission lines ( 2 , 3 ) thereby defining a minimal electric path, and a second position where the first and second arm ( 6 , 7 ) are respectively placed in the alignment of the input and output transmission lines ( 2 , 3 ) thereby defining a maximal electric path, and characterised in that the phasing element ( 1 ) comprises an insulator ( 8 ) placed between each of said transmission lines ( 2 , 3 ) and the arm ( 6 , 7 ) corresponding to the mobile radioelectric coupling means ( 5 ).
