SYSTEM HAVING PLASTIC WAVEGUIDES

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a system having a plurality of electronic devices interconnected by way of dielectric waveguides. In some embodiments, the system has a plurality of electronic devices respectively including a data element and a multiplexing element. The data element has a plurality of electronic device terminals that output and receive data. The multiplexing element provides the data output from the plurality of electronic device terminals to a transceiver element, which generates a wireless signal that transmits the data in a manner that distinctly identifies data from different electronic device terminals. A plurality of dielectric waveguides are disposed at locations between the plurality of electronic devices. The plurality of dielectric waveguides convey the wireless signal between the plurality of electronic devices. By interconnecting electronic devices using dielectric waveguides, disadvantages associates with metal interconnect wires can be mitigated.
