METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A PASSIVE WIRELESS NETWORK ACROSS DIVIDED SPACES

摘要

A passive repeater allows wirelessly communicating electronic devices to be networked despite being separated by barriers or obstructions which would otherwise attenuate the wireless signaling between the electronic devices. First and second antennae are connected by a waveguide which can be disposed through or around the barrier or obstruction between electronic devices. The antenna at each end of the waveguide collect or retransmit in a multidirectional manner wireless signaling being broadcast. This allows the repeater to communicate the wireless signaling across the barrier between communicating electronic devices without wireless signal attenuation.
