- the cover 105 is electrically isolated from the tank 103.

- the tank 103 is for example brought to a reference potential, for example ground.
- the system 100 further comprises a radiofrequency electronic device 107 located outside the enclosure 101.
- the radiofrequency electronic device 107 is for example intended to communicate, by electromagnetic coupling, with one or more other radiofrequency electronic devices 109 located inside the enclosure 101. More specifically, in this example, the radiofrequency electronic device 107 is intended to power the cover 105, so that the cover 105 produces an electromagnetic field inside the enclosure 101 to enable communication with the radiofrequency electronic devices 109.
- FIG. 1 A radiofrequency electronic device 107 located outside the enclosure 101.
- the radiofrequency electronic device 107 is for example intended to communicate, by electromagnetic coupling, with one or more other radiofrequency electronic devices 109 located inside the enclosure 101. More specifically, in this example, the radiofrequency electronic device 107 is intended to power the cover 105, so that the cover 105 produces an electromagnetic field inside the enclosure 101 to enable communication with the radiofrequency electronic devices 109.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an example in which five radiofrequency electronic devices 109-1, 109-2, 109-3, 109-4 and 109-5 are placed inside the enclosure 101, this example is not not limiting, the enclosure 101 being able to contain any number, non-zero, of radiofrequency electronic devices 109 capable of communicating with the radiofrequency electronic device 107 placed outside the enclosure 101.
- the radiofrequency electronic devices 109 are secured to a substrate 111.
- the substrate 111 is for example a wafer or a piece of wafer in and on which the radiofrequency electronic devices 109.
- the substrate 111 rests on a support 113, for example a heating plate.
- the support 113 has for example, in side view, a T shape, one end of the vertical part of which rests on the bottom of the tank 103 and the horizontal part of which is substantially parallel to the bottom of the tank 103 and to the lower and upper faces of the cover 105.
- the radiofrequency electronic devices 109 are located on the side of a face of the substrate 111 opposite the support 113 (on the side of the upper face of the substrate 111, in the orientation of FIG. 1), the radiofrequency electronic devices 109 being arranged facing the cover 105 of the enclosure 101.
- the radiofrequency electronic devices 109 of the system 100 are sensors, for example temperature or pressure sensors, intended to be powered by an electromagnetic field EMF produced by the cover 105 excited by the device 107 and to transmit in return, to the device 107, information relating to physical quantities, for example the temperature or the pressure prevailing inside the enclosure 101.
- the radiofrequency electronic devices 109 are temperature sensors, this makes it possible for example to know the temperature at different locations inside the enclosure 101, for example at different points on the surface of the substrate 111, in order for example to make it possible to map the temperature in different zones located inside the enclosure 101. As an example, this makes it possible to monitor the temperature of the substrate 111 in real time while the substrate 111 is heated by the support 113.
- each radiofrequency electronic device 109 of the system 100 comprises for example, in the case where the devices 109 are sensors, an antenna connected to a surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor.
- the acoustic wave sensor of each radiofrequency electronic device 109 has for example a resonance frequency that varies depending on the temperature to which the radiofrequency electronic device 109 is subjected, in the case where the devices 109 are temperature sensors.
- the resonance frequencies of the devices 109-1, 109-2, 109-3, 109-4 and 109-5 vary around central frequencies f i , f2 , fs , f4 and fs , respectively.
- the central frequencies f i , fs , fs , f4 and fs are for example different from each other, so as to be able to discriminate the signals coming from the different radiofrequency electronic devices 109.
- the radiofrequency electronic device 107 comprises a power divider circuit 115 (DIV) one output of which is connected, via a phase shifter circuit 117 (c
- the radiofrequency transition terminals 119a and 119b of the radiofrequency electronic device 107 are on and in contact with an outer face of the enclosure 101. More specifically, in the illustrated example, the terminals 119a and 119b are on and in contact with the outer face of the cover 105 of the enclosure 101 (the upper face of the cover 105, in the orientation of FIG. 1), so as to excite the cover 105 by means of the radiofrequency signals applied by the radiofrequency transition terminals 119a and 119b.
- each radiofrequency transition terminal 119a, 119b is a metal pad having, in top view, a substantially circular outline. This example is however not limiting, each radiofrequency transition terminal 119a, 119b being able, as a variant, to have any shape.
- the power divider circuit 115 of the device 107 is for example intended to receive a radiofrequency signal SIG, and to retransmit the radiofrequency signal on each of its outputs.
- the power of the signal on each output of the circuit 115 is for example substantially equal to half the power of the input signal SIG.
- the radiofrequency signal is then transmitted to the radiofrequency transition terminals 119a and 119b so as to allow the emission of the electromagnetic field EMF by means of the cover 105.
- the electromagnetic field EMF is produced inside the enclosure 101, for example in the direction of the radiofrequency electronic devices 109.
- the electromagnetic field EMF makes it possible, for example, to power and communicate with the radiofrequency electronic devices 109, for example to determine the resonance frequency of each device 109 in order to estimate the temperature to which this device 109 is exposed, in the case where the devices 109 are temperature sensors.
- the SIG signal is, for example, a voltage referenced relative to the potential applied to the tank 103.
- Figure 2 is a graph illustrating variations, as a function of an emission frequency f, of a reflection coefficient Su of the radiofrequency electronic devices 107 and 109 of the system 100 of Figure 1. More specifically, Figure 2 includes a curve 207 illustrating the variations of the reflection coefficient Su of the radiofrequency electronic device 107 as a function of the emission frequency f, and curves 209-1, 209-2, 209-3, 209-4 and 209-5 illustrating the variations of the reflection coefficient Su of the devices radio frequency electronics 109-1, 109-2, 109-3, 109-4 and 109-5, respectively, depending on the emission frequency f .
- FIG. 2 illustrates an example in which the reflection coefficient Su of each radiofrequency electronic device 109-1, 109-2, 109-3, 109-4, 109-5 is minimal when the emission frequency f is equal to the central frequency fi, f2, fs, fv fs of the device considered.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an example in which the resonance frequency, or natural frequency, of each radiofrequency electronic device 109-1, 109-2, 109-3, 109-4, 109-5 is substantially equal to its central frequency.
- the resonance frequency of each radiofrequency electronic device 109-1, 109-2, 109-3, 109-4, 109-5 can of course be different from its central frequency fi, fs, fs, f fs.
- the shift of the resonant frequency of a radiofrequency electronic device 109-1, 109-2, 109-3, 109-4, 109-5 relative to its central frequency fi, fs, fs, f fs depends on a temperature difference to which the device 109 is exposed relative to a temperature corresponding to the case where the resonant frequency of the device 109-1, 109-2, 109-3, 109-4, 109-5 is equal to its central frequency fi, f2, fs, f fs- This thus makes it possible to know the temperature to which each device 109 considered is exposed inside the enclosure 101.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an example in which the central frequencies f 1 , f 2 , f s , f 4 and f 5 are spaced from each other uniformly.
- This example is however not limiting, the central frequencies f 1 , f 2 , f s , f 4 and f s being able, as a variant, to be spaced from each other in any manner.
- An advantage of providing, in the radiofrequency electronic device 107, two radiofrequency transition terminals 119a and 119b transmitting signals out of phase with each other is that this makes it possible to broaden the bandwidth of the radiofrequency electromagnetic field EMF produced by the device 107 (curve 207) compared to the bandwidth that would be obtained by using, for example, a single radiofrequency transition terminal (dotted curve 207'), for example, terminal 119b. This makes it possible, for example, to address several devices 109, or a larger number of devices 109.
- An advantage of the radiofrequency electronic device 107 is that it does not require modifications to the geometry of the enclosure 101. This makes it possible to integrate the device 107 into enclosures of various shapes and sizes. Another advantage of the device 107 is that it does not require the integration of elements, in particular one or more radiofrequency field emitters, inside the enclosure 101. This makes it possible to use the device 107 in applications where the devices 109 are exposed to difficult ambient conditions, for example temperatures of the order of several hundred degrees, making it impossible to integrate all or part of the radiofrequency electronic device 107 inside the enclosure.
- the central frequencies f1, f2, fs, f4 and fs are of the order of several hundred megahertz, for example between 800 and 1000 MHz.
- the frequency band comprising the central frequencies f1, fs, fs, f4 and fs has for example a width that is all the greater as the number of devices 109 is large.
