Waveguide structure for a contactless connector

摘要

A contactless connector includes a first communication chip configured to at least one of transmit and receive wireless RF signals, a second communication chip configured to at least one of transmit and receive wireless RF signals, and a waveguide structure between the first and second communication chips. The waveguide structure conveys RF signals between the first and second communication chips.

主权项

1. A waveguide structure for a contactless connector comprising:
a first waveguide module having a passive component configured to receive a wireless RF transmission from a first communication chip, the passive component conveying a first signal therefrom; a waveguide having a waveguide body extending between a first end and a second end, the waveguide receiving the first signal from the passive component of the first waveguide module and conveying the first signal to the second end; and a second waveguide module having a passive component receiving the first signal from the waveguide, the passive component wirelessly conveying the first signal to a second communication chip; wherein the waveguide has a rotary joint that allows rotary motion between the first communication chip and the second communication chip.
