About us
Elliptika is located on the precincts of the University of Western Brittany (UBO). Thanks to this privileged
environment, Elliptika is ensured to remain at the cutting edge of the technology about microwave passive devices
through constant interactions with research laboratories.
Our clients are small– and medium-sized companies, large companies, research laboratories and centres working
in the fields of space, defence, measurement, or applications dedicated to the general public...
The team
Innovation and competitiveness being both major stakes for any company, Elliptika staff is composed of
graduated PhDs specialised in the field of microwave passive systems. Moreover, Elliptika builds on the
expertise of the Lab-STICC team. Its R&D policy is to follow and/or anticipate future topological and/or technological
advancements to the benefit of its clients.

- knowledge of the technical and economic issues in relation with the concerns of the clients

Filter: a key element of emission/reception devices
The frequency filter (in microwave or not) is a special electronic device used to cut out/off the spectrum
in order to separate useful signals from interfering ones. As it differs from the other component by its
overall size, its integration in a system is very difficult, not to say impossible. This device is, thus,
critical, and the requirements to be met (electric performances, bulk size, cost…) are antagonistic by nature.
Typically, the quality of a given equipment as well as its cost, overall size and autonomy in the case of a
mobile system are all dependent upon the filter performances. More particularly, for embarked devices where
energy resources and bulk are key issues, the filtering of signals is very delicate. Under these conditions,
it is presently utopian to design a telecommunication or observation system devoid of signal filtering device.
